Mazzy

“You need to help me,” I yell frantically into my cellphone.

“Mazzy?” My sister’s voice is groggy with sleep. “What time is it?”

I glance at the clock on the nightstand. “Eleven.”

“Why are you calling so late?”

“I’m sorry. I just got back from the engagement party. If you could call it that. It was more like a press conference with bad food. The catering company they hired really sucked. But that’s beside the point. I need some kind of excuse not to have to go wedding dress shopping with my future mother-in-law. She scares the hell out of me and I don’t want to be alone with her. Not to mention the fact that there’s not even really going to be a wedding.”

“Okay, slow down. You have a genuine excuse. Harley’s baby shower. Did you forget?”

“Oh, my God. I can’t believe I forgot. We have like one friend. How could I forget her shower?”

“You obviously have a lot on your mind with the fake engagement.”

“This is why I never lie. One lie always leads to another and then it becomes impossible to keep them all straight.”

“And I’m sure it doesn’t help that you’ve got a major crush on your fiancé’s brother.”

I shift awkwardly where I’m standing. I’m not sure how to respond to that. It’s turning into a lot more than a crush and it’s a huge problem.

“Mazzy? What are you not telling me?”

I heave a deep sigh. “I almost slept with him.”

“No!” she screams so loud that I have to move the phone away from my ear. “We need that money. You cannot…I repeat…CANNOT…have sex with Austin Graham. Everyone will find out. You know it’s inevitable.”

Sleeping with him is probably just as inevitable, but I don’t tell my sister that. So I change the subject instead. “What time is Harley’s shower?”

“Three o’clock. Don’t forget. And I already got a present from both of us. A very nice one. We could afford it with the fake engagement money. That’s why you need to smile, look pretty, be a good fiancée and stay away from Austin.”

“Yes, Sir,” I tease. “Do you have any other orders for me?”

“Just one thing. Don’t wear a pink headband.”

Haymakers never changes. The country bar has been in the Wilde family for generations and it’s one of the few places in Old Town where people can go for entertainment. Stepping inside the place is like stepping back in time. I swear there are several bottles of alcohol behind that bar that haven’t been moved in fifty years.

One thing that has changed, though, is that there are men behind the bar serving drinks and they’re not Wilde brothers. Jake Wilde, the oldest Wilde brother and bar manager, rarely hires anyone he can’t have a quick fling with in the back room. And he always had a preference for well-built blondes, just like Harley. I guess he really is a changed man since they got married.

As soon as I spot Harley I take in a sharp breath when she turns around and exposes a very pregnant belly.
