Flame and Ink: An Anthology (Happy Ever After #1)(17)

Her mother grinned. “Oh, honey, I know more than you think.”

Her mother pulled away and opened her arms to Jamie’s men. Balin threw his head back and laughed at something her mother said in his ear, and Ambrose just shook his head.

Soon, Jamie found herself in her parents’ living room, her father telling tales of him and her mother going from realm to realm for his job, and how he had always hoped Jamie would find her way into that world.

Jamie leaned into Ambrose’s side and pulled Balin with her.

“This was not what I was expecting,” she whispered.

“The best things surprise you, baby,” Balin said.

“You are loved, Jamie,” Ambrose added in and hugged them close.

Yes. She totally was.

About Carrie Ann and her Books


New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan never thought she’d be a writer. Not really. No, she loved math and science and even went on to graduate school in chemistry. Yes, she read as a kid and devoured teen fiction and Harry Potter, but it wasn’t until someone handed her a romance book in her late teens that she realized that there was something out there just for her. When another author suggested she use the voices in her head for good and not evil, The Redwood Pack and all her other stories were born.

Carrie Ann is a bestselling author of over twenty novels and novellas and has so much more on her mind (and on her spreadsheets grins) that she isn’t planning on giving up her dream anytime soon.

Tempting Boundaries



There was just something about the scent of a grill, the feel of a cold beer in his hand, and the company of a family that truly loved him that made Decker Kendrick want to relax after a long day’s work. If he added in the fact that he could go home and have the woman at his side under him, over him, and all around him, it would be a pretty fantastic way to end the day.
