him
think he loves me. Jude wants what he can’t have.”
    What man didn’t?
    “He can’t have you?” Doubt radiated from Courtney.
    “No, he can’t. The guy’s a user of the worst kind. Worse than
Scott.”
    “Whoa.” Randi glanced up from the laptop. “I’ve never heard you
say that before.”
    Avery made a face. “Never met a man like Jude Layman before.”
    “I agree with Courtney. We just need to ruin this guy so Mandy
can get back into her father’s good graces, and then, we get out. We can set up
a fake account and records of him making deposits over the past six months. Make
it look like he’s been embezzling from the magazine.” Randi snapped her fingers.
“Or we can make it look like he’s taking bribes from other magazines.”
    “Good. Good, but not enough for this guy. There’s no telling
how many hearts he’s broken over the years. I met Miss January today.”
    “And?”
    “She’s totally in love with the jerk and he wouldn’t even see
her.”
    “The asshole.”
    “She cried all over the place. I felt so badly for her. I
wanted to tell her not to worry because Jude was going to get his come-uppance,
but of course, I didn’t.”
    “Crap,” Randi cursed and went to hitting computer keys as
quickly as she could.
    “What is it?”
    “ BigBen is beating me,” she
screeched, tapping keys wildfire fast. “No F- ing way.
I’ve never been beaten. Not at Day of Reckoning.”
    Randi blew most of the computer game players out of the water. BigBen must be a total computer geek to have Randi on the
edge. Especially since Day of Reckoning was her current favorite.
    Randi’s shoulder sagged and she stared at the screen
unbelievably. “He did it. He beat me.”
    All four watched the laptop as if they expected it to burst
into flames.
    “I got dissed by a man, and now this.” Randi threw her hands up.
Perhaps Randi was what was going to burst into flames? “I’m outta here. Anyone wanna go hang at that Irish pub off 5th? I need to get rid
of some steam.”
    Avery and the other two TGEA girls looked at each other and
shrugged. Why not?

    “I can’t believe I let you drag me to another bar,” Marcus
groaned as Jude set a beer in front of him.
    “I can’t believe you’re still whining about me dragging you out
of your miserable apartment.” Jude slid into the booth, one he’d purposely
chosen because of its view of most of the bar. He had it on good authority Joy
Long hung out here on Tuesday nights. He wanted to make sure they didn’t miss
her arrival.
    He wasn’t exactly sure how his buddy would take to seeing his
ex-wife flooze herself around a bar. Marcus needed to
move on and it was going to take something drastic to snap him out of his
obsession.
    Hello drastic.
    “Now I know why you dragged me down here,” Marcus said,
glancing at a group of women who’d just entered the pub.
    Jude was the one in for a surprise.
    Because in walked Angela Greene with three gorgeous women, one
of which looked familiar. The redhead. The one from the bar the night he’d
vowed not to have sex until Marcus got laid. What had her name been?
    What was his assistant doing with the redhead?
    Was it just coincidence that the two women knew each other?
    Odd that he’d meet them both within a few weeks
time .
    What was his angel doing in a pub? Because if she were looking
to pick up a good time, he’d volunteer.
    “Man, was that redhead a set-up?” Marcus asked, reminding Jude
exactly why he couldn’t volunteer.
    “You tell me,” Jude advised. “I’d never seen her before that
night at the bar.”
    “She’s here with your assistant?” Marcus looked intrigued. “That’s
weird.”
    “Tell me about it.”
    “You going to invite them to our table?”
    Progress. Yes. “Do you want me to invite them to our table?”
    “Yeah. I want to meet the woman you’ve given up the Hummingbird
for. I barely got to say hello to her yesterday before dragging your sick butt
to Dr. Reinholt’s
