They could have that dinner later. It would still be special.
Josh pulled on the drawstring and used two fingers to retrieve what was inside.
“Are you going to make me wear a dress?”
Oh. He’d never thought about that part. “Traditionally, yes. I suppose you would.” Unless she really didn’t want to. He hadn’t wanted to freak her out with where this was going, so it wasn’t like he’d brought up the subject of a white gown and a giant cake.
She looked at the ring.
Looked at him.
Looked at the ring again.

She grinned up at him. “I suppose, just once, I could wear a dress.”
Good. But that better not have been an answer to the question he hadn’t even asked yet. “Dakota.”
“What?”
He still held the ring up between them. A few people had stopped, and the noise level of their immediate vicinity had lowered considerably. He took a breath.
“Will you marry me?”
Dakota said, “Yes.”
The crowd around them cheered. Josh slid the ring on her finger and spun her in his arms before he set her back on the ground. Then, he kissed her.

The agent left behind.
Stuck on probation with nothing to do but busywork.
Niall’s case points to a research college hiding more secrets than the local police. He meets Haley, who is looking for her missing friend. The former Navy sailor won’t stop until she’s figured out what the disappearance has to do with the Russians in Portland.
When the two collide, a bigger plot is revealed. One that puts hundreds in danger.
The Northwest-Counter Terrorism Taskforce is on the case.

About the author
A British ex-pat who grew up an hour outside of London, Lisa attended Calvary Chapel Bible College where she met her husband. He's from California, but nobody’s perfect. It wasn’t until her Bible College graduation that she figured out she was a writer (someone told her). Since then she's discovered a penchant for high-stakes stories of mayhem and disaster where you can find made-for-each-other love that always ends in happily ever after.
Lisa can be found in Idaho wearing either flip-flops or cowgirl boots, depending on the season. She leads worship with her husband at their local church. Together they have two children and an all-black Airedale known as The Dark Lord Elevator.
Lisa is the author of the bestselling Sanctuary (WITSEC town series), the Double Down series, and more than a dozen Love Inspired Suspense novels.
