He set her beside two men.
“How long have they known each other?” a dark-haired man asked.
He smelled so good that she deeply breathed in his scent. He wore a white cowboy hat and had a suit coat on over jeans that were creased. Attention to such detail impressed her.
“Trevor said they’d known each other six months. She’s between cases, and they decided this was a good time to get married.”
Camila was a renowned expert on childhood abductions, and she’d solved more cases than anyone in the U.S. Marshal’s office, including one here in Blessing.
“Hard to believe another Nash brother is tying the knot. You’re getting old. You might want to start looking a little harder,” the blonde man on the other side of him said.
The man next to her turned and stared at her. “Are you related to the bride or grooms?”
“I’m friends with Camila and I know her brother Trevor,” she said.
The family had lived two doors down from them after they moved to San Antonio.
“Who do you know?”
The man grinned, his bright smile and full lips a perfect blend on his face. A tremor of awareness spiraled through her. The man was handsome, and it had been years since she’d been with a man.
Law school had kept her from pursuing a relationship.
“I’m Cal Thomas,” he said. “I’m friends with the groom.”
A spiral of anger rose through her. He owned the Sweet B. And yet, how could she be angry at him? It was his grandfather who somehow got the ranch from her grandfather. Cal just got to grow up in the place that she loved.
“Lillian Bradley,” she said, trying to keep the anger at bay. It would be good to be friends with this man.
“That name is familiar. Why do I know it?”
She shrugged. The longer she kept him in the dark, the better she could glean information from him.
“Don’t know. I’ve lived in San Antonio since I was eight,” she said, thinking if that didn’t give him a clue as to who she was, then he deserved to be duped.
“Nathan Alley,” the man on his other side said.
Here were the two men she’d planned on speaking to, and she was seated right next to them.
“Nice to meet you,” she said, wondering if the lawyer would tell her the truth since he was friends with the enemy.
Just then the grooms stepped out of the door along with the preacher and another man who was standing up with them. They each had a big grin.
The bridal music started, and they all stood. She glanced back to see her friend walking toward her grooms. She had the biggest smile on her face as her brother Trevor walked her to the men she was going to marry.
Her gown was a gorgeous array of silk and lace, and she wore flowers in her hair.
“Lucky guys,” Cal said. “She’s so damn beautiful.”
“And smart,” Lily said.
He grinned at her. “I feel like I know you.”
A smile flitted across her face. “We’ll talk after the ceremony. We share something in common, and I want it back.”
His brows drew together, questioning. “Darling, whatever you want, I’ll be happy to give it to you.”
She shook her head and laughed. “I doubt it. But we’ll see.”
