Just One Night (The Kingston Family Book 1)

One Month Later

Over one hundred and fifty guests filled the main room of the country club. White flowers lined either side of the aisle, and up front a beautiful white and gold arch stood where the couple would be married.

Jordan sat in the front row, waiting for the double doors to open and for Chloe’s wedding to begin. Linc and his brothers were gathered in the entry room, looking handsome in their tuxedos. The bridesmaids and Chloe’s maid of honor were waiting as well. Though Chloe had wanted to add Jordan to her entourage, Jordan declined, wanting Chloe to have her closest friends standing up for her. Besides, since Linc was walking his sister down the aisle, Jordan truly didn’t mind being with the rest of the guests.

Word had spread about Jordan and Linc’s engagement, in no small part because his mother had insisted a formal announcement be mailed out. Jordan knew it had been Melly’s way of openly welcoming her, and she was grateful.

Glancing at her phone, she realized it was past the time when the wedding should have started. She smoothed her hand over the designer dress she’d had to have let out at the waist, because one morning she’d woken up and discovered she no longer had indentations on either side of her stomach. Excitement rippled through her as she settled her hand on her barely there belly.

Suddenly the doors she’d been watching began to open, and everyone rose to their feet, only for the wooden doors to slam shut again.

People began to whisper, then talk, asking each other what was happening. Jordan wondered herself and sent Linc a text.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Jordan:What’s wrong?

A few minutes passed and his answer came.

Linc:Can’t find the groom. If he shows, I’m going to kill him before my sister can ruin her life with that son of a bitch.

Jordan rose to her feet. Ignoring the people calling questions after her, she rushed up the aisle and out the doors to find Linc and his siblings. Chloe had her mother and friends to calm her.

Someone needed to talk the Kingston brothers down.

Who rescues the jilted bride?
