Dani didn’t know whether to laugh or cry so she did both, wrapping her arms so tightly around his neck he had to loosen them after a moment just to get a breath.

“I guess you like it?” he pulled back far enough to look her in the eye.

“Noah, I love it……… I love you. And I want you to stay right here…and…”

“And?” his expression was one of infinite tenderness.

Dani took a deep breath. “And I’d be honored to be your wife.”

That was all he needed to hear. In one swift movement, he scooped her up and carried her upstairs where they spent the rest of the night celebrating the holiday.

About the Author

As with most things, PJ Nunn's career started out as something else entirely. She started out in retail then moved to property management. That led to teaching high school, then serving as a counselor and liaison to the local police youth services division. She also spent five years as chairperson of the Coryell County Child Welfare Board and spent years counseling abuse victims and serving law enforcement as a trauma counselor and consultant (something she still does today). When she moved to Dallas, a family illness caused her to leave a job teaching psychology at Dallas County Community College District to become a freelance writer, but found that a few favors she was doing for friends—writing press releases and setting up book signings—was better suited to her talents and her drives.

 

In 1998, she founded BreakThrough Promotions, now a national public relations firm helping authors, mostly of mystery novels, publicize themselves and their work. The business is thriving. PJ lives with her husband some of their five children near Dallas, TX.

No Such Thing as Ghosts: A Jesse Morgan Mystery
- With only one really big case under her belt, Jesse’s primed for more, but unfortunately, the publicity has brought kooks out of the woodwork. Byron is busy trying to get the security end of the business established so Jesse’s left to handle the nutcases on her own.

When a call comes in to visit the owner of a local, exclusive restaurant, Jesse doesn’t know what to expect. When he tells her he’s afraid a ghost is stealing from him, she wants out and fast! She doesn’t really want to tell him he’s a nut and turn down the case outright, so she does what seems logical. She quotes an exorbitant rate, fully expecting him to turn it down. He writes her a check instead.

A Shari Markham Mystery
– Shari took leave of absence from the Dallas Police Department after she and her granddaughter Angel were in an accident during the capture of a serial killer. She returns to the job when another killer is linked to the college campus where she teaches in the law enforcement academy. It seems recent killings are somehow connected to a prostitution ring that’s discovered in the campus computer lab. FBI Special Agent Luke Stanopolis, who left Shari to go back to Washington after the accident, returns to head the investigation with an undercover sting that goes bad. Will they catch the killer and bring their undercover officer back alive?
