Deceived - Part 3 Chloe's Revenge (12 page)
He removed a gorgeous Tiffany solitaire diamond, set in white gold, from the little black velvet box and slipped it on my shaking finger. I kissed him, as several of the other patrons in the restaurant turned in their seats to see him propose. They smiled and applauded. As he stood up and returned to his seat, his eyes never left mine, he was beaming with joy, and several people at the nearby tables, happily called out, “Congratulations”. I thanked them, as I brushed the tears of joy from my face and dabbed at the corner of my eyes with my cloth napkin.
“I love it, Patrick,” I said, still shaking and breathless, as I admired the beautiful symbol of love he had just given me, glittering as brightly as I felt my life was shining, at that moment. “And I love you, Patrick Collins.”
The End
Watch for the next Eve Carter novel coming soon where we reconnect with Jesse from Deceived Part 2.

Acknowledgement
First, I would like to thank all of my readers. Without you, my books would not exist. I truly appreciate each and every one of you. I would also like to give a big “shout out” to the girls in the Smutty Book Whore Mafia on Facebook. You girls rock! Without your connections and support, Deceived wouldn’t have had such a good beginning. I enjoy the humor and candor with which we interact, not to mention the awesome photos. :) They give me lots of inspiration for writing my steamy sex scenes. Special thanks to Helen Read and Belkis Williams for introducing me to the smutty family. I especially want to thank Andrea Gregory for beta reading Deceived Part 2 and 3. Your edits and comments have been incredibly helpful.
A big “thanks” goes out to all my Twitter followers and Facebook friends, all several thousands of you, who keep me tweeting into the wee hours of the night.
Finally, I would like to thank my editor and book cover designer, Primrose Book Editing and Design. Thanks for all of your help and clever ideas.
