Free Daisy Does It All (Clover Park, Book 2) Contemporary Romance (The Clover Park Series) by Kylie Gilmore Page B

turtleneck paired with a huge knit black and purple polka-dotted cowl and red velvet pants. At least no tiara today.
    “Come on in!” Maggie said, stepping back from the door. She gestured to the living room. “Do you like it?”
    Daisy stepped inside. “Oh, Maggie,” she said reverently, taking in the room.
    Maggie had recreated the Valentine’s scene from Daisy’s blog, complete with roses, a chain of pink paper hearts hanging from the fireplace mantel, and slow jazz music. It was like stepping into her fantasy life.
    “I love it!” Daisy shifted Bryce to her hip so she could give Maggie a one-armed hug. “It’s just like I pictured!”
    Maggie beamed and grabbed her hand. “Oh my goodness, look at this diamond ring. Beautiful! Trav knows how to pick ’em. The boy must have spent a fortune on this!”
    Daisy cringed. “I know. It’s too beautiful.” She was still getting used to the feel of the two rings and trying not to feel panicky about the wedding band. It had been a long time since she’d worn one. How long would this marriage last? She broke out into a sweat.
    “Just enjoy it, sweetie. And look at that shiny gold band. So new! Ah, newlyweds. Well, not yet, but soon. I heard the secret day is on Saturday. I can’t wait. I know you’re keeping it small, so your mother and I just invited Jorge, your parents, of course, Liz, Ryan, Shane, and Rico.”
    Daisy had left the planning up to her mom with the only rule being: keep it simple and small. Her mom had been thrilled to have at least one daughter that let her fuss over the details. Liz planned her whole wedding herself. It was still more people than Daisy would’ve liked for a secret wedding, but she couldn’t uninvite anyone.
    “That sounds like the most people we should have. No more, okay?” Daisy unzipped Bryce from his bunting. “And keep it hush, hush. We’re supposed to already be married according to my blog.”
    “I love your blog, by the way. Wait here. I have something for you.” Maggie disappeared into the dining room.
    “Okay.” Daisy looked to Bryce quizzically. “What could it be, Baby Delight?”
    He shoved a fist in his mouth, keeping his thoughts to himself.
    Maggie returned with a purple gift bag. Daisy reached for it, but Maggie shooed her hand away.
    “Just a minute. I have to do this right.” Maggie reached her hand in the bag and pulled out a crocheted daisy pin. “Something old…”
    Tears sprang to Daisy’s eyes. It was just like Maggie to do something thoughtful like this. “It’s so cute. I’ll wear it for the interview.”
    Daisy handed over Bryce and pinned the daisy to her pink, striped V-neck sweater. Maggie handed Bryce back and reached into the bag again. “Something new…”
    A black satin and lace teddy. Oh, Lord, it was the A-line mini she’d described on her blog. She felt herself flush. It was one thing to describe bedroom shenanigans to faceless blog readers, a completely different thing to know Trav’s grandmother read all the gory details.
    Daisy touched the satin with one finger. “It’s beautiful.”
    Maggie smiled and set it on the coffee table away from Bryce’s grabbing hands. “Something borrowed…”
    A romance novel—Kathleen Woodiwiss’ The Flame and the Flower . “To get your juices cooking,” Maggie explained. “I know after having a baby—”
    “Thank you!” Daisy said before Maggie could get into any juicy details. Ai-yi-yi . The book joined the teddy on the coffee table. “Anything blue?”
    “Of course!” Maggie fished the last item out of the bag. Daisy sucked in an audible breath of surprise.
    Edible underwear. Blueberry flavor.
    “These are lots of fun,” Maggie said, holding up the box. “We’ve tried all the flavors.”
    Daisy snatched it from her and tucked it face down on the loveseat. Not better . Just a picture of the rear view. Her cheeks heated. She looked up. Maggie was grinning, her blue eyes dancing with mischief. Daisy was starting to see
