Ellen Marsh - For His Son's Sake

On the other hand, she and her father had never reconciled. He hadn’t spoken to her or acknowledged her existence in more than a year. And he had seen to it that none of her brothers, their wives or their children had said anything to her, either.

And of course Brent Ellis had called off their engagement the moment the scandal broke. Kenzie had clearly heard her father’s words echoing behind the pathetic little speech he had made, and she could well imagine the things her father had said when informing Brent that marrying his daughter meant no chance of keeping his partnership in the Daniels family law firm—which, in true Beltway fashion, had barely been tarnished by the sorry chain of events.

Career or love? Brent hadn’t hesitated in making his choice.

“C’mon, girl, get a grip,” Kenzie told her pale reflection in the mirror. True, Ross’s not-unkindly-meant words had unwittingly awakened memories she preferred to keep buried, but that didn’t mean she was going to ruin Angus’s birthday by hiding out in the ladies’ room. While she had no idea what had triggered her emotional meltdown, she wasn’t about to let either Ross or Angus suspect. So when she returned to the table she made sure that her head was held high and that her smile was warm and carefree.
