JENNIFER STROLLED UP to the bar to get a diet soda and stared through the French doors lining the patio, waiting for her turn with the bartender. Outside, a beautiful carved stone railing overlooked the golf course, and she could see the lights from the homes lining the greens twinkling through the leaves.

“What are you doing?” Todd demanded as he came to a stop in front of her.

She stifled a groan. Barely. Talk about ruining a perfectly good view.

Jenn glared at Todd and stepped out of line, her gaze searching the huge room until she spotted an unoccupied spot nearby. She headed that way, all too aware Todd dogged her heels. “You’ve got two seconds. What do you want?”

His hands settled on his hips. “Aren’t you going to congratulate me?”

“No. The better man didn’t win.”

His face tightened. “You’re being petty.”

“I have good reason.”

“Why are you suddenly hanging out with that overgrown busboy?”

“Why do you care? And for your information, Nick is a very successful and honorable businessman.”

“If not for his last name and family connections, Nick wouldn’t be anything in this town. I grew up with him and he’s dumb as dirt, and nothing but a troublemaker who could barely string two sentences together. I thought you were a fairly intelligent woman, Jenn. Why would you go out with someone like him?”

“Because he’s a man and not a jerk?”

“Back off, Dixon. You got a problem with me, take it up with me and not Jenn.”

Nick appeared out of nowhere, walking right up to Jenn and wrapping an arm around her shoulders. He snuggled her close and pressed a soft kiss to her temple.

“You okay?”

Appreciating the supportive gesture of her guy friend, Jenn slid an arm around Nick’s waist and held tight. “Yeah, Todd was just leaving.”

“Nice try. I’m not going anywhere. I’m here to celebrate my promotion.”

“Then get to it. On the other side of the room.”

“Or what?”

“Is there a problem here?” Alan Tulane joined them, followed by Luke, Ethan and Garret. All of them scowled at Nick while Todd simply stood there and smirked.

Jenn wanted the ground to open up and swallow her.
