CHAPTER SEVEN

THE wedding service was beautiful. The bride was radiant and the groom looked nervous, but that was how it should be. She and Roarke were seated on the bride’s side of the church. If she glanced to her right she could see her parents and Lucy in the front pew but, so far as she could tell, nobody had looked her way. Doubtless her father had laid down the law again.

The church was packed with relatives and other well-wishers, which was why Ginny found herself pressed up close to Roarke’s side. She had tried to make more room for herself, but that had only had the effect of brushing her thigh against his. A manoeuvre which had caused him to look at her mockingly and she had desisted. However, the warmth coming from him was impossible to ignore, as was the far too intoxicating scent of his cologne.

Just being close to him was turning her on, and she had known how it would be. That reckless side of her nature, which she had relentlessly suppressed for so long, was coming to the fore again. Her sensuality had come out of her self-imposed deep freeze and was being bombarded by signals it didn’t want to ignore.

Roarke glanced at her, brows raised questioningly, and she sighed, knowing he wanted to know why she was holding him when she had been the one to insist on no touching. ‘We’re being watched,’ she explained in an undertone, and he nodded, placing his hand atop hers to add to the illusion, unwittingly sending her temperature rising.

They wandered outside with the rest, but there was scant relief for Ginny. To her dismay Roarke insisted she joined in all the family group photos.

‘You’re part of the family, even if only a few of us know it,’ he informed her when she attempted to protest. ‘You have more right than some to be here.’

To which she had no response. And seeing the annoyance on the Brigadier’s face did make her feel better. Of course, she didn’t move when the groom’s family were called for, because that would raise some pretty difficult questions.

There was, however, no getting away from the traditional greeting of the guests by the bride and groom and their immediate families, when the guests moved on to the hotel where the wedding reception had been arranged. If anyone thought it odd that the bride should greet her as warmly as she did her brother, whilst the groom barely shook her hand, nobody remarked upon it.

Naturally, Jenna took advantage of the situation to
