EDITED ANSWER: Let's just say you need to read ANCHOR ME and HOLD ME

ORIGINAL ANSWER: The short answer is there is absolutely a chance, and a good one!!!!! The longer answer is that the book isn't contracted, but I've talked about it with my publisher. So while I'm pretty sure it will happen, I don't know when, where, or how :) (I will say, that N & D aren't quite ready yet ... but they definitely want kids.)

ETA -- Also need to read Cherish Me and the upcoming Enchant Me. hint hint(less)

Need a steamy read??

“His lips began to move, and I thought that he had a beautiful mouth. “It’s not a weakness to want to let go,” he said. “To want the thrill of taking a risk. The pleasure of feeling the rush.”

It’s #MostWantedMonday!! Have you met Evan Black from WANTED??

Quotes by J. Kenner  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Possess. Have. Hold. Enjoy. Control. Dominate. Pick your verb, Ms. Fairchild. I intend to explore so very many of them.”
J. Kenner, Release Me

“Do you know what passion is?”
I blink, confused.
“Most people think it only means desire. Arousal. Wild abandon. But that’s not all. The word derives from the Latin. It means suffering. Submission. Pain and pleasure, Nikki. Passion.”
J. Kenner, Release Me

“Everyone breaks a little sometimes. That doesn't make you weak. It makes you wounded.”
J. Kenner

Coco.V Thank you Julie for accepting the friend request! I'm a huge fan of The Stark, The Stark Ever After and Wanted Series ! The original Stark trilogy is one of the better series I've ever read. Damien and Nikki's story was truly amazing. The perfect emotional and intense atmosphere! I was waiting for Book 3 in the new Stark International Trilogy to be released to start reading this spin off series ((-:
