Chapter 4

“Look at you trading in a nerdy scientist for a bad-boy biker.”

The maid of honor sipped on her martini glass, a faint smile pulling her red glossed lips together as she watched Nate hunched over the bar. In his worn-in jeans and old white cotton T-shirt he’d managed to catch the eye of every woman within the vicinity of the pool table, single maid of honor included. They exchanged glances, and that oh-so-desirable grin popped at his dimples. Jeez. She’d spent the whole drive to Berry Hill stalking the chiseled indentions of his face. Something odd slammed in Hannah’s chest at the fact Sally Bedletter, her freshman semester college roommate and once best friend, was openly gawking at her fiancé. Fake or not, she felt a tinge of jealously. Heck. They’d only been in the wedding party’s company for two hours, and by God, Nate was her fake lover.

So retract the claws ladies. I have the ring. Well, for another forty-eight hours and thirty minutes. And why did she care? Nothing would come from this weekend anyway.

Keep your head out of the clouds.

Hannah swallowed the strangled hiccup lodged in her throat and set her beer down on the tabletop. “I didn’t trade anyone in.” She looked pointedly at Sally, the lie heavy on her tongue. “I just finally fell in love. End of story.”

“Well, you look happy.” Sally winked. “Two months ago you looked like a woman on the verge of taking in a bunch of cats. I like happy Hannah so much better than I’m crying my poor eyes out over a lab rat.”

Sally was drunk. That’s what Hannah told herself, anyway, because she happened to be the second person to call her happy since running into Nate. No, finding her path in life was her new happiness. And showing the wedding guests she wasn’t a pushover anymore by publicly breaking up with Nate was going to be the beginning to her fresh start.

A deep voice she knew all too well drew her attention. She turned and felt her throat close on a strangled moan. His T-shirt had lifted, revealing abs that definitely possessed superhero qualities. Yeah, right, he was about as safe as that high school freshman’s wallet condom opened on prom night.

“What bad plans do you have for my fiancée?” Hannah tilted her head to the side and encountered Nate’s warm lips at her cheek. Golly Jeez, he was good at the faking part. Somehow Mr. Romance had body-snatched Nate Fox and she really, like oh my gosh, dug it. A beer plunked down in front of her. “I brought you another drink, cupcake.”

As she reached for the cold brewsky, she told herself not to fall into the charming-boy abyss. They were only hanging out for show, and that included the flirting, too. How about a dose of your own medicine, Fox? Hannah nodded. “Thanks, kitten.”

“Kitten?” Both eyebrows furrowed in question as he shoved his way into the booth to sling a muscled arm across her shoulders.
