The Better Man (8 page)

Will dipped his
head and claimed her lips again in a strong, heady kiss before pulling back a
fraction of an inch. “Call it a preliminary proposal. I’m going to do it
properly, and when it happens, it’ll knock your socks off.”

Lori laughed
and hugged him tightly. “Too late. You’ve been knocking my socks off for weeks.
I can’t imagine it getting any better.”

“Oh, it will, Lorelei,” he
whispered. “It certainly will.”

The End

Since the age of 12, Cerian has known what she wanted to be
when she grew up. Now, many, many years later she still says it’s been her
dream to be an author.  Countless notebooks are filled with her stories written
over the years while she’s worked jobs from cleaning stalls in New York to
booking cruises in Maine.  Currently she’s happily settled in southwestern New
Hampshire with her husband and four children.  She works for a well-known
children’s magazine company, but in her spare time she’s busy weaving stories
and continuing to pursue her dreams.

Cerian also writes as Ceri Hebert with titles Sweet Forever
and Where One Road Leads.

Praise
for Cerian Hebert and The Better Man
, previously released as Yesterday’s
Tomorrow
:

“I really liked the premise. The
plot moves at a steady pace, never delaying the action by explaining how Lila
comes to be where she is. I would recommend Yesterday's Tomorrow for a fun,
face-paced read.”
D. Moncrief

“Yesterday’s Tomorrow starts with an
intriguing premise and gets even better. This book is about dreams, those
realized and those deferred. I loved this story. Quite a lot to accomplish in
forty-six short pages, but Ceri Hebert manages it quite nicely. Good job, Ms.
Hebert.”
