Perfect Proposal by Leah Braemel Read Free Book Online Page B

outline of the butterfly tattoo that had
entranced him since the first time he’d seen it peeking out above
her jeans. “Maybe we can fly them out in Coop’s private
jet.”
    “ That would be nice. Oh, and I’m not sure I want to be Mrs.
Watson—that’s your mom. Besides, I like the alliteration of
Rosalinda Ramos.”
    “ How about hyphenating it? Rosalinda Ramos-Watson.” He rolled
the name on his tongue experimentally. “It has a nice cadence to
it.”
    “ Or Rosalinda Watson-Ramos.” She rolled over to poke him
beneath the ribs where she knew he was ticklish. “You could always
change your name.”
    “ Rosalinda Watson-Ramos it is then.” With a groan he lay back
on the pillows and covered his eyes with his arm. “I can’t believe
I ended up proposing while kneeling in a puddle in the middle of
the street. I wanted to give you a perfect proposal, one you’d
never forget.”
    “ You dundo . Do
you really think I’ll forget today?” Straddling him, she sprawled
across his chest and pulled his arm away from his face. “And
because I forgot to say it before, thank you for today, Sam. Thank
you for giving up your plans of taking me to Paris and letting me
visit my family. Thank you for the roses, and the music, and this
suite. Thank you for wrecking your suit by getting down on one knee
in a snow storm.”
    “ It was worth it.” Not that he’d point out that the suit was
already a write-off thanks to Rosie’s nephew dumping his pudding on
it.
    “ You didn’t have to go through all this, you know? I was never
going to say no. In fact, I planned on asking you myself.” She held
her closed hand a foot above his chest, then opened her fingers,
releasing a fistful of rose petals to cascade over him. “I don’t
need rose petals and fancy champagne or expensive hotel suites to
know you love me. I just need you.”
    Cupping
her face in his palms, he kissed the tip of her nose. “And I need
you. That’s why I wanted to give you a perfect proposal—because
you’re perfect for me.”
    He moved
his hands down her back to cup her behind. “Now for part two of my
plans for this evening…”
     

     

About the Author
    Like
most authors, Leah's always had stories revolving around in her
head, talking to her late at night. College, marriage and raising a
family had her pushing them aside until a conversation with her
eldest son about how he needed to follow his dreams was thrown back
at her. One year later Leah was thrilled to get her first contract
for her sizzling romance Private Property from Samhain Publishing.
In January 2010, the reviewers at The Romance Studio nominated
Private Property for a CAPA award for "Best Erotic Romance." Leah
was also nominated in the "Best Erotic Romance Author" category.
Reviewers have since awarded her books numerous Top Pick and
Recommended Reads designations along with another CAPA nomination
for Deliberate Deceptions as "Best Contemporary Romance of
2011."
