Contents
Diego Velasquez felt foolish as he stood in the wings waiting to be announced in the Five Families Country Club bachelor auction. Heâd give anything to be with his horses on his ranch, Arbol Verde. He had tried to get out of participating in the annual charity event by making a huge donation, but his mom, a formidable morning newscaster on a Houston station, was on the committee and wanted to see her sonsâall four of themâmarried. So there was no getting out of it, even though every year he and his brothers tried.
âWhat do you think, Diego? Got it in you to land a huge bid?â his youngest brother, Inigo, asked.
Diego was pretty sure Inigo had toyed with the idea of making one of the women who followed him on the F1 racing circuit his temporary bride to avoid the auction. But since their beloved mama was a devout Catholic, a temporary marriage was a no-no, so heâd flown in on his G6 this morning from Japan. Luckily for Inigo the F1 was racing in Austin in two weeksâ time. Or maybe unluckily, because it meant there was no excuse not to be here, he thought as he watched Inigo messing with his bow tie.
Diego turned to his other two brothers, the twins. Alejandro did some sort of social media management that had made him a millionaire and he wasnât even thirty. And Mauricio had the golden eye when it came to spotting property in neighborhoods on the cusp of becoming âitâ places to live and work.
Diego was proud of them. They were all the kind of bachelors that the charity auction should be promoting. Sure, it was annoying that Mama was competitive and wanted to see the Velasquez name at the top of the fund-raising leaderboard. But at the end of the day, it was a good cause, wasnât it?
âYou look like youâre thinking of bolting,â Mo said.
