Kennedy In Denver (In Denver Series Book 1) (19 page)

Easton's POV

I got my girl back by default, but now I'm going to do everything I can to keep her happy and keep her mine. I look at our kids and I wonder how I could have ever had any doubt that Kennedy was all I would ever need. I seriously need to buy Estelle a car or a house, or maybe a yacht. The fact that she sent our marriage license to the courthouse even though I left Kennedy at the altar like a dumbass, means that when I looked at my kids’ birth certificates, next to mother it has married, and my name next to hers. Our kids were Kerrigan’s, thanks to Estelle.

Estelle has changed so much from the girl I knew as Stella. If you had asked me a year ago if I liked Estelle, I would have told you I hated her but now I love her like a sister. She has been a great friend to my girl. I hope my brother finally figures out how to tell her how he feels because I can't wait until she is a Kerrigan. My family is working on repairing the damage between them and Kennedy. I know Rose is worried she and Kennedy will never get back to where they were, but Kennedy is the most forgiving and understanding person I know. I see Kennedy opening up more and more to Rose. My dad and Liam have offered to walk on broken glass for what they said about Kennedy. They realize now that she wasn't unhinged, just a mother protecting her young. Estelle is hers, and when you fuck with what belongs to my girl, it isn't a pretty sight.

Liam is no different with his kids. He's so protective it’s actually causing issues between him and Rose. He doesn't want to accept that his kids are growing up.

The Brennan’s have welcomed me back with open arms. They know I love their daughter and she loves me and together we love our kids. Kennedy won't tell me what the girls showed her when she was on life support, but she said good things were coming for everyone and our love is what holds everyone together.

I watch Thea watch Killian from the hallway. She looks at him as if he hung the moon and he’s so stuck in his own misery he can't see what's right in front of him. He needs to figure it out soon she is only going to be here for about six months until she leaves for college.

I know Stacy had been sneaking around with Reed for a year. Everything ended a few weeks ago. He took a job working in the New York field office and according to Kennedy. Stacy thought it was serious, but Reed had other ideas. She was heartbroken when he told her he was leaving with only two days’ notice.

Michael seems to have a heavy heart. It’s been nine years, and he still hasn’t gotten over his high school sweetheart, Katie. She lives and teaches on the reservation where her father is the chief. My father and I are meeting him next week; to talk about buying the land we own next the reservation they want to extend the school.

I sit and I look at my family. My beautiful wife with my kids, and my siblings and Tristan and Estelle and Thea and I know that I couldn't have asked for more.

Kennedy came to Denver for a fresh start. When she set her sights on The Hope Theatre, that’s what started a whirlwind of change in my life and the lives of my family. She came here to find a life after tragedy, but she ended up finding hope in more ways than one.

About the Author & a Note to Readers

I live on the Southwest Coast of Florida with my husband and three daughters. I spend my time reading and shuttling my kids to and from activities. I'm probably a lot like you; maybe you always had a story to tell but you were too shy admit you’re a writer in your heart.

In my 30 plus years, I have had a lot of jobs; office worker, cable company employee, nurse, I even went to cosmetology school. While doing all of that, I filled notebooks with stories of these amazing families, or sexy shifters, even a few magical lands. Once I was finished writing, I would throw the notebook away. I never dreamed I would have a book on Amazon.

I wrote this book without adding one stitch of punctuation. Truth is, no matter how many classes I have taken, I just don’t comprehend where a comma should go. That stopped me for more than 20 years. I trusted two strangers I met on Facebook, see it’s always easier to share things with strangers behind a screen than family, who might judge.

This book was just two chapters I sent to those two strangers. They gave their time to a stranger with a dream to write, so my advice to you is, LIFE IS TOO SHORT. Find what you love and do it for as long as you can. Don’t be afraid to ask advice and beg for help. I hope Kate, Jeannie and Jeanne continue my journey with me.

Thanks so much for letting The Kerrigan’s have a little of your down time. If you loved them, let me know. If you hated them, that's ok, I didn’t write this book for you, I wrote it for us.

Book 2 Estelle in Denver and Book 3 Katie in Denver will be available this summer.
