“No getting sidetracked with headline-worthy kisses,” Emily warned.
“No promises,” Justin teased, tugging Suzette back into his arms.
And then he did exactly what he’d been warned not to do.
“You’re a very, very naughty man,” Suzette whispered when he finally let her go.
“With my leading lady … always.”

Operation: Unexpected Romance — JK Kenzie and Suzette Bosch Confirm Relationship
International action star JK Kenzie confirms he is in a relationship with Suzette Bosch, a respected hotel manager based in South Africa.
The pair met earlier this year while serving as best man and matron of honor at a family wedding, where an unexpected friendship quickly grew into something more.
“Sometimes the best love stories start in the most unexpected ways,” Kenzie said in a statement.
The couple are grateful for the warm wishes and ask for privacy as they continue to navigate this new chapter together.
The release was accompanied by photos that took the internet by storm — the sneaky ones Miem had snapped.

Scrolling through the comments on the official JK Kenzie feed the next day, Suzette felt a calm she never would have believed possible. She’d never imagined, not even in her wildest dreams, that this could be her life.
OMG they look so happy together!
Rooting for SuZie! Love seeing JK find real happiness.
Best Christmas surprise ever — JK is in LOVE!
I’m officially obsessed — Kenzette forever!!
She snorted. “Kenzette? Oh, my word. That’s so … ‘Barbie and Ken.’”
“I prefer SuZie,” he said, brushing a hand over her bare shoulder and down her arm. “I like the idea of my name being part of yours.”
He slid the phone from her fingers and placed it on the bedside table. Then, with a slow, deliberate smile that curled heat through her, he murmured, “But right now, my sweet Suze … I want mybodyto be part of yours.”
She offered no protest when he tugged the sheet from her, the cool morning breeze drifting across her bare skin. His hands followed a moment later, warm, certain, reverent. As he lowered his mouth to hers, everything faded to this single moment of just the two of them.
Suzette let her eyes close, sinking into the warmth of him, into the safety she felt wrapped in his arms. A few days ago, the idea of headlines, photos, and public scrutiny would have terrified her.
But not now.
Not with him.
Justin didn’t just fit into her life. He had opened a space inside her she hadn’t known she’d been saving. A space for laughter, for hope, for the kind of love that didn’t ask her to be anything more or less than exactly who she was.
His fingers laced with hers, anchoring them as he slipped into her, uniting them in the most intimate way possible.
She smiled, a slow curve of certainty blooming in her chest.
This.
This moment.
