Sitting at the bar, Rayna downed a few shots of whiskey as an insidious thought snowballed in her mind. It doesn’t matter who the father of the children is. In fact, the children will be even more beautiful if I find myself a handsome man. Suddenly, her gaze—which was scanning the dancefloor—fell upon a towering silhouette.
