Diana Palmer - Betrayed by Love

“Probably the stark terror of realizing she’s marrying a crazy person,” Kate offered, grinning at David.

“I’m not crazy.” David defended himself with mock solemnity. “Just because I once, only once, went with Margo to a male strip joint—”

“A what?” Jacob demanded fiercely.

David actually flushed. “Uh-oh.” He moved away. “Excuse me, have to rush. Getting married today, you see.” He vanished.

“A what!” Jacob glared at Tom.

“It’s a place where men take off their clothing while women wolf whistle,” Kate offered, adding fuel to the fire. “Very educational.” Well, she’d heard that they were, anyway. Kate herself wouldn’t be caught dead in such a place, but Jacob might as well think she would, if it needled him.

Jacob’s dark eyes were frankly insulting. “I can’t imagine that you’d need any educating.”

“How sweet of you to say so,” Kate said with a demure smile.

The taller man didn’t bother to reply. “See you inside,” he told Tom, and walked off.

“Whew,” her brother sighed as they started toward the rest of the congregation who were entering the church. “Talk about heat!”

“He hates me,” she sighed. It had been a good act, but only an act. Inside, she was bleeding to death and no one could even see.

“I wonder if Jacob really knows what he feels for you, Kate,” Tom remarked quietly.

But she didn’t answer him. She walked up the steps and into the church, thinking as she went how very fortunate Margo was.
