Standing in the shadows of the balcony encircling the ballroom of the Texas Cattlemanâs Club, Kasey Monroe looked up at the clear night sky. Why had she thought attending a New Yearâs Eve Ball in Royal, Texas, knowing no one but Aaron Phillipsâwho might, or might not, become her new bossâwas a good idea?
Aaron, as a member of the Texas Cattlemanâs Club, knew nearly everybody in the room. Heâd introduced her to his gorgeous sister, Megan, and her equally good-looking husband, Will Sanders, CEO of Spark Energy Solutions. And while Aaron had made an effort to include her, she felt woefully out of place.
Even so, making small talk with strangers was still more fun than spending the night alone in her hotel room, obsessing about the party happening back in her home in Houston. Throwing a New Yearâs Eve bash was a tradition she and Dale had started the year theyâd gotten engaged and, for the first time in five years, she wouldnât be playing hostess to their friends. Kasey couldnât help wondering what Michelle was doing tonight. When last had she and her oldest friend spent the special evening apart? A decade? More years than that? Kasey rested her champagne glass on her cheek. It had been six months since sheâd caught Dale and Michelle together in what was, as theyâd explained, a drunken encounter that meant nothing. Pure sex, fueled by too much booze and a line of coke. Their combination of sex, drugs and rock and roll had broken her heart and, while she felt like her heart was slowly patching itself back together, she still felt like a fool.
Her husband and her oldest and best friend... In a million years, she would never have imagined that scenario. Would she ever be able to trust anyone again?
