 You aren t going to tell Thorn about the bet are you?
Tara smiled.  No, Storm, I won t say a thing.
She turned back around and started to walk away.
 Tara?
She slowly turned around for the third time, meeting Stone s amused expression.  Yes,
Stone?
His smile widened.  Welcome to the family.
Tara chuckled. The Westmoreland men were something else.
 Thanks, Stone.
She then turned around and ran smack into Corey Westmoreland, Thorn s uncle. A recently
retired park ranger from Montana, he had made the trip back home three times in less than
two years to attend his niece and his nephews weddings.
Tara smiled. According to the Westmoreland brothers, their fifty-three-year-old uncle was a
confirmed bachelor. That was too bad, Tara thought since he was such a good-looking man.
What a waste. A part of her hoped there was a woman out there somewhere for Uncle Corey.
 My nephews aren t causing problems are they? he asked, chuckling. Then he glanced across
the room, sending his eleven nephews a scolding glare.
 Nothing I can t handle, but thanks for asking, she grinned, thinking what a nice smile he
had and how much his smile reminded her of Thorn s.
 Good, and if I haven t told you already, I think you re just the woman Thorn needs. I know
the two of you will always be happy together. If you ever want to get away and see some
beautiful country, tell Thorn to bring you to my ranch in Montana for a visit.
 Thanks for the invitation. I ll make sure to do that.
At that moment Thorn and the minister came from the back. She immediately caught her
husband s gaze and smiled.  Excuse me, Uncle Corey, she said, and began walking toward
Thorn. When she reached him, he pulled her into his arms.
 Ready? he asked, placing a kiss on her lips.
Tara knew that all the love she had for him was shining in her eyes.  Yes, I m ready.
She would always be ready for him and made a silent promise to show him later tonight just
how ready she was.
