Paper Roses: Veterans Affairs, #4

By A. E. Wasp

First comes love, then comes marriage. Assuming you survive the wedding.

Mikey Washington really does want to be married.The whole thing had been his idea in the first place. So maybe "Do you want to marry me or not, pendejo?" wasn't the world's most romantic proposal, but Mikey had meant every word of it. Besides, Benny Quintaña had been making Mikey crazy since they were twelve-years-old. Mikey was used to it. So why did planning this wedding feel like facing a firing squad?

When Benny had asked Mikey to marry him, Mikey's answer had been "I'm going to fucking kill you." Is that a yes?" Benny had asked. He liked to be clear on things.

"Yeah, for real, even though you're an idiot," Mikey had answered. That sounded like true love to Benny. So why does Benny have the feeling Mikey has one foot out the door?

Bonus Honeymoon in Puerta Vallarta chapters included! (You knew they'd make it, right?)

A. E. Wasp

After time spent raising children, earning several college degrees, focusing on professional and academic writing, and traveling the world with the U.S. State Department, she is returning to her first love writing. She writes romance because it is the people we love and who love us that give our lives meaning. She writes erotica because sex is one of the many ways we as humans connect to each other. She writes fantasy and paranormal fiction because inviting myth and fantasy into our worlds allows us to experience life more fully. She invites readers into her characters’ lives at a time when they are their most vulnerable, their most human. We connect with these characters and share their hopes and fears because they are ours, too. Born on Long Island, NY, Amy has lived in Los Angeles, London, and Bangkok. She currently in Fort Collins, Colorado, where she hopes to stay.
