he’d intended. He felt as if he’d been sucker punched.
    “Yep,” Jaden said after giving London a weird look. He then shrugged and took a long, thirsty swallow. “She announced it at dinner yesterday.”
    He struggled to keep his voice steady. “Who’s the lucky man?”
    Jaden shrugged again as he brought the bottle back to his lips.
    “Some cat we have yet to meet,” he said, frowning.
    London rubbed a hand across his head as he gave a strangled laugh. Again he tried to regain his composure. “She’s marrying a total stranger?” he asked and stepped farther into the room.
    “It seems that way. She refuses to give us any information about him—except that he’s in the Air Force.”
    London nodded and almost sympathized with her decision.
    He knew Jabarie, Jace and Jaden well enough to understand Bianca’s need for secrecy. If Jaden had even thought for a moment anything more had been going on between him and Bianca other than friendship—not that there was—he would have acted like a plumb fool. Unfortunately for him, other than a few goodnight kisses, nothing more had happened.
    While Jaden finished his beer, London moved over and straddled the chair across from him and listened while Jaden told him everything about Bianca’s announcement at dinner the night before. “Well, I guess congratulations are in order.” He didn’t know what else to say.
    Jaden gave him a cutting look. “Over my dead body. I plan to find out whatever I can about the dude and put a stop to this madness.” The venom in his voice matched the expression on his face.
    London was pleased to know that he wasn’t the only one unhappy about Bianca getting married. “You think he’s after her money?” he asked after a long, intense pause.

    “Maybe. She says it’s love, but I don’t buy it,” Jaden grumbled, then tilted the bottle again.
    It bothered London to even think of Bianca being in love with another man. It was selfish of him, especially since he had no intention of marrying. He just didn’t like knowing that she was happy with someone else.
    London tamped down the sizzle of jealousy. Bianca was nothing more than a friend to him. “You said he’s in the military?” he asked, then watched as Jaden took another sip of beer before putting the bottle down.
    He nodded. “That’s what she said.”
    “That should make it easier.”
    Jaden gave him a sidelong glance. “You think you can find out who he is?”
    Jaden knew London was a former security forces investiga-tor. He had ways of finding out things if he needed to know.
    “I’ll watch her house for her fiancé or his vehicle, then talk to one of my guys at Dover Air Force Base and see what I can find out about him.”
    “Yo, I’d appreciate whatever information you can find.”
    London arched his brow. “I’m going to do better than that. If that cat ever got a speeding ticket, I’ll know about it before the week is over.”

    “You sure you like it?”
    Bianca looked up at her fiancé and smiled, warmed by the uncertainty that registered in Collin’s liquid-brown eyes. He was always trying to go out of his way to please her. It was one of the qualities she loved most about him. Although, recently it was starting to get on her nerves.
    “It’s beautiful, really,” she said reassuringly, then looked down at the two-carat solitaire surrounded by baguettes. The ring wouldn’t have been her first choice, and she would have preferred if he had taken her along to pick it out, but she wasn’t complaining. Gazing down her finger once more, she sucked in a deep, shaky breath.
    She was now officially engaged to Collin Clark.
    “I’m glad.” He leaned across the seat of his car and pressed his lips to hers. Bianca closed her eyes and, as the kiss deepened, she waited for the fireworks, the wild flutter in her chest.
    Nothing. Absolutely positively nothing.
    When the kiss finally ended, Bianca leaned back against the seat and
