The Cowboy SEAL's Triplets. Tina Leonard
gleaming as his words drifted away. Each of them looked so pleased he couldn’t bear to let them down.
“You have to understand, you’d be better off looking for another bachelor,” John said. “I’m not your man.”
“He may be right,” Jane said thoughtfully. “I don’t know that I’m feeling it.”
Dennis wore the same suddenly thoughtful look. “And then there’s the matter of Sam. I still can’t figure out how he got into this.”
John didn’t want to hear about Handsome Sam. “Trust me, my buddy was just trying to help me get to the altar. It was all an elaborate sham to coax me there.”
“Most men don’t offer to marry a woman who’s having a child that isn’t theirs.” Cosette grew pensive now, too. “I mean, you’re not.”
His throat got a bit tight. “I haven’t really thought about—”
“The thing about Sam,” Dennis said, “is that he really is an ultimate bachelor with a golden heart. Someone should hook him.”
John shook his head. “You’ll never catch Sam.”
“But he was taking her to Vegas,” Jane said. “That gives me pause about this bachelor song he sings.”
A little doubt crept into John. “Sam’s just up to his usual tricks. We all suffer from it. And love him for it, too,” he said truthfully.
“Well,” Cosette said brightly, “I suppose it doesn’t matter whether you’re in love with Daisy. She’s not here, and who knows when she’ll come home after the shock she’s suffered.”
“Wait a minute.” John’s brain whirred like a pinwheel. Which fallacy should he start with—that he was in love with Daisy, or that she might never return? This was BC: she had to return. “I’m not in love with Daisy.”
The second the words left his mouth, causing glints of mirth and knowing to shine in his friends’ eyes, John knew—just as they knew—that he was head over heels, gone-and-not-coming-back, certifiably in love with Daisy Donovan.
“Oh, crap,” he said, and they high-fived each other, and then him, for good measure.
This was a problem. He was now squarely in BC’s sights, and the worst part was, he had no clue where Daisy was, and if that was his child she was carrying.
Holy smoke.
