“I had my guy look over the papers Jamie signed. They only included your marriage in Massachusetts.” He held up a certificate. “You were legally married in Virginia and still are.”

Wes turned to her and she looked up at his big grin as happiness filled her heart.

“We’re still married,” he whispered, pressing his forehead against hers.

“I would have married you a few more times anyway.”

Epilogue

Jamie walked into the office to a chorus of “Surprise!” Instinctively her hand went to her stomach, but it was unnecessary. She’d given birth six months ago.

Their daughter was spending the day with Jamie’s dad. Otherwise known as the new babysitter.

Jamie agreed to the arrangement after her father was given a clean bill of health. It also helped that she and Wes had bought a house a block away and their office was in their renovated attic.

Shadow liked to lie in front of the large windows in the front where Jamie could see the ocean. Through the windows in the back she could see her father’s backyard.

She looked around their office at all the people. Ben and Annabelle were there, though she’d just seen them three weeks ago at their wedding.

Mrs. Knox—Roberta—was off to the side, smiling. And there in the center of the room was Wes.

He came closer as her father walked in, carrying their daughter.

“What is going on?”

“It’s your one-year anniversary with our company,” Wes pointed out happily.

It hadn’t taken long for Wes and Ben to revamp Archer Worldwide. They sold the jet, took care of the building that could have ended the company, and most importantly they’d forced their mother out.

The woman only escaped legal consequences because Jamie begged Wes to let it go. Jamie didn’t want to have to spend another minute near the woman. Annabelle and Ben had agreed.

They would have started their own division sooner, but they’d wanted to finish the plans for Holly’s headquarters. They’d hit the number one team that quarter, and then they announced their plans to leave Blain & Douglas.

“You know how I feel about surprises,” Jamie whispered to her husband as Wes took their daughter from her dad.

“Come on. You have to like some surprises, right?” Wes held Camille out to her.

She held their daughter and nuzzled her soft cheek. “You’re right. Some surprises are wonderful.”

Her husband bent down to kiss her and whispered in her ear. “Did I mention there’s cake?”
