“I’m going to give you a chance to come clean, Tucker. I’ve got the highest respect for you, but I want a straight answer about you and my sister.”

Tucker swallowed hard. When he had crafted the plan to be left alone by his matchmaking sister, he’d had no idea what sort of trouble he’d be making for both Fiona and himself.

“I have nothing but the most honorable intentions regarding your sister, Ian.”

“Then tell me why my wife saw you kissing her. Are you trying to tell me that Merry lied to me?”

“No, never.” Tucker held up his hands. “It’s just that what she saw wasn’t what it looked like.”

Ian looked doubtful. “I’m listening.”

“When I heard Merry was up to matchmaking, I didn’t want any part of it.”

“And you figured a woman looking for a man wouldn’t be interested in one who was kissing someone else.”

“Exactly.”

“If I didn’t know you better, I’d think you were saying that you took advantage of my sister for your own benefit.” He poked Tucker in the chest with his forefinger. “Is that what I’m hearing? Did you take advantage of my sister?”

“No,” he said as he stepped back. “I wanted it to look like something was going on so Merry wouldn’t force the Abrams woman on me. You see, we recently had a conversation about how I might be feeling a little lonely now that you two are…well…never mind.”

Ian’s expression softened. “So my wife took it upon herself to fix your problem with the first female who wandered up?” When Tucker nodded, Ian burst into a fit of laughter.

“What’s so funny?”

“I was about to punch you for taking advantage of my sister and courting her without my permission, and it turns out to be a game you and Fiona played to throw Merry off the chase.”

Tucker joined in the laughter, but a tiny part of his heart refused to go along with the joke. That little sliver of warmth nestled against the cold loneliness he’d felt since his sister married off kept him from declaring victory.

Rather, he had a sinking feeling he hadn’t shared his last kiss with Fiona Rafferty. And that feeling scared him more than anything.
