either. Now we have to decide what we’re going to do about this situation. Walking away probably isn’t an option, but maybe it’s the smartest choice for all parties involved.”

Chapter Six

    A few days later

    Serena sat at the dinner table quite satisfied. The way her uncles watched Jenna guaranteed the plan she’d set in motion was going better than expected. Ever since her mother had fallen ill with skin cancer, a gnawing fear had consumed her. She was afraid after her mother passed, Jenna and her father would somehow end up together.
    When Jenna first moved in with them, her mother had cautiously befriended her, and Serena had noticed how her mother had curiously observed Jenna whenever her father was around. She’d feared her mother might notice Jenna’s advances toward her father.
    As far as Serena knew, her father had never paid any attention to a young girl’s flamboyant efforts of pursuing an older man. Eventually, Jenna had stopped her obvious pursuits and grew to love and respect her parents as her own, but that didn’t matter. Things could and potentially would change upon her mother’s death. Serena couldn’t embrace the idea of her best friend in her father’s bed. Her uncles had the green light, but her dad remained forever off-limits.
    “So, tell me what you girls have in mind for the weekend,” Jules said, twirling his thin spaghetti noodles around his fork.
    “Can you get us tickets to a concert?”
    “What concert?” Brogan asked, reaching for the Parmesan cheese.
    “Nickelback and Hinder are in Roanoke,” Serena informed them. “I’m in love with Nickelback’s lead singer.”
    Brogan studied her. “His name is—”
    “I don’t care if he even has a name,” Jenna interrupted, sipping her water. “With a body like his and moves designed to create fantasies, he doesn’t need a name at all to get an invitation into my bed.”
    Serena choked, and it was a real gag. No faking necessary when facing death by noodles.
    She leapt from her chair and bolted to the bathroom, coughing and attempting to swallow. She was forced to pull the pasta from her throat using two fingers. Perhaps she deserved to choke on a noodle after pigging out while gloating about her matchmaking skills. Her greedy consumption almost earned her a quick trip to the morgue. She visualized her obituary verbatim. Young woman gags on noodles as best friend seduces uncles.
    No one even bothered to check on her. She could’ve been knocking on death’s door for all they cared. Jenna was rolling up another bite of spaghetti when she rejoined them. Jules and Brogan looked far too uncomfortable in their chairs.
    “Are you okay?” Jenna asked sweetly.
    “Sure. Can you knock it off with the flirting while we’re eating? And the false promises have to go. These two take women at their word.”
    Brogan grinned. “And what would you know about that, little bits?”
    “I know enough about all of you, trust me.”
    “Just enough to be dangerous, huh?” Brogan winked. “And I bet Jenna here could tell a few stories on you, so you’d better be careful. We might bribe her with things she can’t resist.”
    Jules stopped chewing his food and glared at Brogan. Jenna’s eyes widened, and Serena smiled.
    “I’m not worried. She can’t stop flirting long enough to utter tales about me.” Serena realized her remark sounded bitter. She couldn’t help it. She’d nearly died, choked to death on her Italian dinner and no one gave the Heimlich maneuver a second thought.
    “I wasn’t seducing your uncles. I simply wanted Uncle Jules and Uncle Brogan to know I’m a woman who appreciates a man with certain undeniable charms…like Nickelback’s lead singer who has all the right moves. There’s a man who knows what he has to offer a woman.”
    Brogan tossed his napkin to the table. “All right, Jenna. That’s it. We gotta get a few things straight.”
    “Just a few?” Jules teased. “If she thinks some random rock
