prize.”
    “Oh my God, decide this soon,” Travis said, pulling his wife Lauren up against his side. He’d been the one recording everything on his phone. “Seeing my brothers all lovesick is making me a little sick.”
    Lauren elbowed him, but his brothers all just flipped him off. In unison. He got that on the video too.
    But Levi nodded. He had to agree with the sick part. At least Travis could go home and be with the woman he was lovesick over. Levi was going to bed alone.
    “Okay, they all said yes,” he announced. “Now on to stage two. Voting will be at two p.m. in the gazebo tomorrow.”
    “Voting?” Hailey asked Ty.
    Hope and Delaney both looked up their fiancés as well.
    “I’ll explain later,” Ty said.
    “Yeah, we have some…projects to do,” Tucker told Delaney.
    “Uh, hey, Mr. Mayor?” Ty asked TJ.
    “Yeah?”
    “You think you could convince the grocery store to open up for us for a bit? We’re all going to need supplies.”
    Now Hailey looked less intrigued and more concerned. “Supplies?”
    Ty grinned at her. “We’re going to need to get creative.”
    She groaned.
    “I think I could get him to open up. For me,” TJ said, nodding.
    “Hey, no fair.” Tucker turned to Levi.
    “ I will get him to open up,” Levi said. He was on good terms will all the business owners in town. And he’d give the guy a nice cash bonus for the favor.
    “Hey, we’re all staying in the same house,” Tucker said. “What if someone steals someone else’s idea?”
    “We’ll split you up into different rooms and you’ll take turns in the kitchen,” Levi said.
    “Kitchen?” Delaney squeaked.
    “I’ve got an idea,” Tucker said, hugging her with a grin.
    “And the girls will keep you honest,” Levi said, looking from one woman to another.
    None of the girls actually confirmed that. Even the sweetest of the group, Hope, looked contemplative.
    “You won’t have time to sneak around and spy on one another,” Levi said. “You have a short timeline to make this stuff work.”
    What had he started? What if this just turned into a family feud?
    “Even so,” Ty said. “You’ll have to referee. We’ll end up killing each other.”
    Yeah, he would. Then something occurred to him and he grinned. “Oh, I have a better idea.”
    “What’s that?” Hope asked.
    “Didn’t you say your mother was staying up at the house too?” Levi asked Tucker.
    At that, Tucker sighed, Ty groaned and TJ looked resigned.

Tucker & Delaney

    “We have to cook ?” Delaney paced across the bedroom they were sharing on the second floor of Ty’s house on Plum Street.
    “Bake,” Tucker corrected. Then he shrugged. “But I have a better idea.”
    “I’m all ears,” she said. “Because you know this has disaster written all over it.”
    Tucker grinned at the woman who could create anything from wood, metal, plaster—or a combination of any of those. But give her flour, sugar and eggs, and everything went to hell.
    She went to where her laptop was sitting on the dresser and opened it. “We’re going to have to find something easy,” she said. “Or convince your mom to help us.” She looked up. “She wants you to be married so you can officially adopt the boys. Maybe she’ll be our accomplice even though we’re up against Ty and TJ.” She frowned at him. “And why did we have to go up against Ty and TJ? If you really want to do this, let’s just plan something for after New Year’s. Or if you want a big town party, let’s do it on New Year’s. You know I don’t need it to be all fancy and crazy. We could just see if Pastor Michaels is willing and—”
    “Delaney.”
    She stopped and blinked at him. “What?”
    “I love you.” He had always known he wanted to be a husband and father, but he’d had no way of knowing, of even fathoming, how much he would love the woman who would make him both.
    “I love you too.”
    “And I’m sorry.”
    She blinked a few times. “Sorry for what?”
    “I
