his hair and he sighed. “I appreciate your concern. I really do but…you’re going to have to trust us. We know what we’re doing.”
    “Ah hell, Jace. I sure hope so,” said Kade.
    So did she. Betsy was the odd one out here, having known the group the least amount of time. Sure, Breck was new to the group, too, but he’d known Jace since college. When she inevitably got divorced, she hoped it didn’t cause a rift between her friends. She hoped she’d never lose them.

Chapter Three
    Jace stood in his house—no, in the house his “grandma” was letting him continue to live in—preparing to marry Betsy. She still could hardly look at him without blushing and though he’d become fond of that pink color to her cheeks, it still made him slightly uneasy. She would be divorced after this. When she met her future husband, Jace would be something she had to explain. And now all he could think about was how well they worked together at the office, and here he was, doing something that could ruin it.
    Not to mention that their friends had taken it harder than he expected. He knew it was just that they didn’t understand, but he didn’t want it to hurt Betsy.
    Damn, he was a prick.
    But he also needed his parents’ house.
    The one where he planned to marry a fake wife in his mom’s old indoor garden. Jace was young when they’d passed, but he still had memories of them wherever he looked—flashes of scenes with the two of them playing games, barbecues with his dad on the deck. He hoped if they were looking down on him, they weren’t too disappointed.
    “Hey, Buddy.” Breck walked into the room, adjusting his collar. “Damn, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to look better than you on your wedding day.”
    Jace chuckled. “You’ve always been a bit delusional.” He faced the mirror again. Considering he and Betsy had only given themselves a week to put the small ceremony together, they were going with casual. Jace wore slacks and a blue button-up shirt, but he realized he actually wasn’t sure what Betsy was wearing. Rowan and Sidney had taken her shopping, but he figured she would be equally laid-back. Being a seamstress, Sidney wasn’t happy she hadn’t been able to make the dress, but it wasn’t as though Jace could tell her the faster they got married, the sooner the house would be his.
    “Never thought I’d see the day Jace Macnamara got married,” Breck teased. “I’m sure that news broke the hearts of women everywhere.”
    Jace knew his friend was just trying to rile him before he said whatever he came here to say. “Ha ha. I could say the same thing to you, couldn’t I?” Yeah, Jace dated a lot of women—short-term of course—but so had Breck before meeting Rowan.
    Breck didn’t reply to that. “How you doing?” He leaned against the wall and crossed his arms. Jace knew that look—his friend had something he wanted to say. It surprised him Kade wasn’t there for backup.
    “Spit it out, man. If you can’t tell, this is my wedding day.”
    “You’ve always been a smart guy who knows what you want.”
    “Yep.”
    “So now I just want to make sure you’ve thought this through. That you really know what you’re doing. Hell, if you need something—”
    “I don’t.” Well, nothing Breck could help him with, anyway.
    “Okay, so back to knowing what you’re doing. She’s a sweet woman.”
    “I know that.” Jace shook his head. Breck hardly knew Betsy and it pissed him off that his friend would come in here pretending to tell Jace anything new about the woman. None of them spent more time with Betsy than he did. “You think I don’t know who she is?”
    “Calm down.” Breck held up his hands. “I’m just saying this one thing and then I’ll never bring it up again. You’re not above screwing up. I did the same thing with Rowan. I’d hate to see that woman out there, who looks at you like you hung the friggin’ moon, get her heart broken. I’d hate to know how much it
