Cal Hollister nursed his piña colada, only half watching the flamenco
dancers on the dance floor at Fernando’s in San Antonio. He wasn’t sure
why he kept coming here, except that she’d enjoyed the music back in the
days when they were friends. Before the big blowup that had left him
reeling with shock and fury.
He was drop-dead gorgeous. Tall, broad-shouldered, with thick blond
hair and black eyes. Women noticed him. He never even looked up.
He sipped his drink, his mind far away. It had been seven years. All that
time. He’d married a San Antonio socialite only two days after the woman
from his past had brought the world down on his head. His socialite had
herded him, drunk and in anguish, to a justice of the peace. And he’d texted
the woman who betrayed him with bitter, shaming words and the news that
he was now married. At the time, it had seemed exactly the right thing to
do.
She, the socialite—Edie Prince by name—had always said that the other
woman was too young and carefree to settle down. She’d convinced him
that revenge was his best bet, and he’d said it was justified.
But the breakup was bad timing. He’d just come home from a devastating
mission that had left him sick of his own hopeful new career and aching all
over for Amelia. Her grief had led to an unforgettable night in bed, one that
led to tragedy.
Guilt had ridden him hard afterward. At her grandfather’s funeral, he’d
taken Edie with him, just so he wouldn’t have to face Amelia alone. He
knew it had hurt and confused her. But then, he was confused, too. He’d
thought mercenary work was right up his alley, with his background in
police work. Well, it wasn’t. He’d seen things, done things, that haunted
him still.
He’d stayed away from Amelia for weeks while he got counseling, put
his life back together, changed jobs and became settled. He’d finally come
to terms with his feelings for her. He even had a set of rings in his pocket.
He’d been looking forward to starting a new life. Then Amelia’s great-aunt,
in a fit of rage, had called him to say that Amelia had solved their little
problem and now there were no complications, so he was free to seduce
another innocent woman, wasn’t he?
He took another swallow of the drink. That news had started him on the
downward spiral that led him right into marriage with his worst nightmare.
So long ago. So much pain. He’d given Amelia hell, not allowing her to
even get a word in edgewise, not giving her a chance to defend herself,
explain herself. And to complicate matters, a few days later, at the end of a
drinking binge that had almost landed him in jail, he’d married Edie.
Biggest mistake of his life.
