“Well,
hell,
I’m
still
in
shock,”
Jared
Westmoreland
said,

shaking
his
head.
“Storm
was
the
last
Westmoreland
I

thought
would
marry,
and
just
think
in
less
than
nine
months
he’ll
be
a
daddy.”

Jared
then
chuckled
as
he
glanced
at
Dare,
Thorn,
Chase
and
Stone.
“What
is
it
with
your
side
of
the
family?
All
of
you
are
tying
the
knot.”

Chase
frowned.
“Not
all
of
us.”

Stone
smiled.
“Your
time
is
coming,
Chase.”
He
then

glanced
over
at
his
cousins,
Ian,
Jared,
Spencer,
Durango,
Quade,
Reggie,
Clint
and
Cole.
“And
all
of
yours.”

Durango
narrowed
his
eyes.
“Don’t
try
putting
a
damn
curse
on
us
like
that
old
woman
put
on
Storm.”

Dare
shook
his
head
laughing.
“She
didn’t
put
a
curse
on
Storm,
she
merely
read
his
palm.
Besides,
if
it’s
going
to
happen,
then
it’s
going
to
happen.
The
big
question
is

who’s
next.”

He
studied
his
remaining
single
brother
and
his
eight
male
cousins.
He
smiled,
having
an
idea
just
who
the
next

Westmoreland
groom
would
be,
and
he
couldn’t
wait
to
see
it
happen.

He
grinned.
“All
I
have
to
say
is
that
when
it
happens,
don’t
fight
it.
You’ll
find
out
later
that
it
will
be
the
best
thing
to
ever

happen
to
you.”

Quade
Westmoreland
frowned.
“No
disrespect,
Sheriff,
but
go
to
hell.”
He
turned
and
walked
off,
and
the
other
single
Westmoreland
men
did
likewise.

Dare
laughed
and
he
kept
on
laughing
while
thinking
there
would
definitely
be
another
Westmoreland
wedding
before
long.
He
would
bet
on
it…if
he
were
a
betting
man.
