Welcome to 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition!!!!! *I might be a little excited and hyper. ROFLAMO*
This is a Page Brief that’s new and never posted anywhere else. Yep new and never posted anywhere else. It’s being posted for the first time as part of the 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition!
Join me daily here on the blog for next Page Brief. There’s also something special for the last day of August 2026 as a wrap up for the 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition. 🙂
*holding up a glass of champagne* Wheeee…onto today’s 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition Page Brief!!!
Today’s Page Brief features characters from Simple Arrangement, Intentions, Book #1. Enjoy!
From time to time there’s multi-part Page Brief’s that go together. I think of it as a Page Brief Serial and I name them. The below Page Brief Serial Unbound Enchantment features the books at the time I wrote these Page Brief’s that were available in my Intentions series. Eventually when books are released in the Intentions series an Page Brief might be written and if it is it will be added to the Unbound Enchantment Page Brief Serial. So this Page Brief Serial is a continuous one (at my discretion/time permits).
Unbound Enchantment is a multi-part Page Brief Serial and best read in order for the most enjoyment. They are usually in order of the Intentions series for which they are written about (unless otherwise noted).
This might be a rough draft so excuse any typos and so on.

Jackson watched her as she reached out with her hand then stopped herself. She clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. He stifled his smile as he watched her fight for control not to be in control.
“Don’t think I don’t see you over there eyeballing me.” Iona narrowed her eyes. “And I know you’re deliberately doing this to provoke me.”
Iona crossed her arms and tapped her foot. Jackson licked his lips watching her bare toes. Seeing her barefoot and for her relaxed made him want to take her somewhere to mess up some more. Iona was always so much in control. Except when he pushed her beyond that control. Which he took great pleasure in doing like he was doing now.
“You know I don’t hide it.” Jackson deliberately moved something out of place again. “I love when your eye starts twitching, your mouth furrows just so, your nose wrinkles and that epic scowl comes over that beautiful face. All of that just does something for me.”
“You know I should find it disturbing that you want to push me beyond my control.” Iona rolled her eyes. “Hell, you should find it disturbing you want to push me beyond my control.”
“Yet we both enjoy pushing buttons.” Jackson chuckled and again moved something.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw her step forward and reach then stopped herself. Jackson smiled at her widely wiggling his eyebrows as he moved something else. Iona narrowed her eyes and each of the things he said he loved she did. Staring her right in the eye he moved something else.
“Damn you Jackson.” Iona stepped forward pushing him out of the way and put everything he moved from earlier and recently back.
As she did he could see her shoulders relax. He stood back and let her go ahead with her fixing and fussing. Iona had been so tense since she had been preparing for today. Jackson didn’t see what was the big deal. It was just a friendly get together between some of their family and friends. They’ve had them before so he didn’t see why she was so tense.
Iona finished fixing everything back then let out a breath. “There now it’s fixed.” Iona shook her fist at him. “And you better not mess with it again.”
“I don’t know why you’re freaking out so much. It’s not like we’ve not had friends over before.” Jackson held up his hands and stepped back. “I’m not going to mess with anything… for now.”
“We have but this is the first time that it’s kind of a formal invite thing for us as a couple.” Iona ran her fingers through her hair. “I know I know we’ve had others before but I don’t know why today seems so different.”
“Happy anniversary Iona.” He pulled out the piece of paper from his pocket and gave it to her then walked away.
“It’s not our anniversary.” Iona called after him.
“It’s one of them.” Jackson replied as he continued toward the house. “I can’t believe you forgot. “
“Shit. He’s never going to let me live it down if I don’t remember one of our anniversaries.” Iona muttered then said. “You do know most people have like one anniversary. Not like a million of little ones.”
“One anniversary hah is for the weak.” Jackson said.
“You know you’re a weird man right.” Iona spoke coming towards him.
“Yep. And it’s why you love me.” Jackson paused and waited for her to join him by the door. “You have no idea what anniversary it is right.”
Iona shook her head.
“It’s the anniversary of first time of your letting go for me.”
Iona thought then smiled and leaned in to kiss him. “That’s a good anniversary to celebrate.”
