A huge, square diamond lay inside the box.
Manic emotion swept over her and she knew there would be no way to stop the river of tears that had started to stream down her face.
Incredibly, everything around them seemed to melt away. It was just him. Just her.
He picked up the microphone and stared into her eyes. “Do you think it’s okay if we play together, if you’re my fiance?”
The crowd erupted again.
All Tiffany could do was cover her mouth. Her hands trembled. She couldn’t believe this. She let out a laugh and nodded.
His face went from teasing to serious and he turned to the stadium and put a finger to his lips.
Instantly, they quieted. “Tiffany Chance, will you marry me?”
The stadium erupted again.
Sam laughed and turned to the people. “Shh, let’s give her a chance to answer.”
She was already nodding, tears moving down her cheeks. She stood, and Sam stood, pulling her into his arms.
Finally she took the microphone and said into it, “Yes!”
Then she accidentally dropped it because Sam kissed her so fast.
The crowd went crazy.
Finally, Sam pulled back and both of them laughed. Sam took the ring out and slipped it onto her finger.
Then he kissed her again, before letting her go and reaching for his guitar.
“Come on, Chance, let’s do this.
A stage guy rushed out and helped fix the microphones.
The band started playing Bon Jovi. Tiffany smiled, thinking how much she loved this man. How much he’d given her. Changed her.
He winked at her. “Are you ready?”
She grinned and strummed her guitar. “Just play, Dumont.”

Roman Young, quarterback for the Dallas Destroyers, doesn’t expect to get a gun shoved in his face by the beautiful red head, Katie Winters, when he arrives to sell the Inn he inherited from his uncle in Wolfe Creek, Utah. But, he’s not surprised, either. It’s the way his life has been lately. Just ask the tabloids that have happily reported his shattered knee, his wife's affair, and the car accident.
Unfortunately, Katie is wearing a wedding ring. Not that he noticed. He doesn’t know why he doesn’t tell her about the fact he’s selling the Inn, even after she shoves a list of supply demands into his chest and rambles on and on about all the projects they have to do.
When he discovers her husband passed away a year ago, and her seven-year-old son asks him to come to dinner and movie night, things start to change. Or did they start to change when Katie took him sledding? Or when all he could think about was kissing her? Now he has to make a choice—keep ignoring the truth—or try one Last Play.

Janet Snow didn’t understand why getting caught in a full-blown make out session with the first boy she’d ever kissed meant anything. It didn't. And it really didn't matter that her heart pounded and adrenaline spiked through every part of her. In fact, the only thing she did understand was that Michael Hamilton wasn’t staying for long. Which suited her just fine. Too bad he looked even hotter than he had in high school. But that didn't matter, either!
Michael Hamilton only knew one thing…coming back to Snow Valley to see Janet had been the best decision he’d made in a very, very long time. Too bad his business was back in LA and the relationship between he and his father would never be suitable for close quarters. Good thing he didn’t plan on staying for very long.
When Michael finds out Janet hid the fact that she’d almost died of cancer and when Janet discovers Michael wanted to marry her, they both have to make a decision—learn to trust again or miss out on the first love that could be their last.

Charlotte Love doesn’t believe in fairytale endings or happily ever after. She doesn’t want it, either. To say that she’s not the least bit concerned Ryan Hardman is back in town—would be saying she even cares that much. All she wants is to raise her son and run her bookstore.
After Charlotte discovers the ranch Ryan wants to buy—is hers…and a news story releases information surrounding the mystery of why Ryan hasn’t been back, they are left with a choice—run or fight.
