other agent who worked with Christian at the strip club. You know, the dump you worked at before Maggie’s.”
    They’d all agreed to keep Christian’s undercover assignment as a stripper to themselves, Maggie having warned them not to bring it up around her new husband. Rhonda had worked at the same club where Christian had been trying to shut down a human trafficking operation. The night of Rhonda’s attack, she’d been excited to remember where she’d recognized him. Wanting to rush off and tell Maggie had led to her careless disregard for her own safety.
    â€œI don’t recognize him.” He’d be hard to forget. Had two agents been assigned to that case?
    â€œHe’d have been undercover. Maybe he was in disguise?” Alice offered.
    Wendy gave Alice’s arm a not so friendly swat. “What kind of disguise can you wear while you’re taking your clothes off, dummy?”
    Rhonda knew exactly how someone could disguise himself, or herself. Her father wouldn’t have had the care he’d needed had Rhonda not learned to hide behind the hair and makeup.
    Alice folded her arms, nodding in Rhonda’s direction.
    Wendy’s eyes grew like saucers. “I am a dummy. You look so different.”
    Rhonda offered her a smile and for the first time since this morning, she relaxed a little. The uncomfortable feeling of being on display eased. If Wendy had forgotten, maybe no one else would reconcile the lavender-toting bridesmaid with the woman famous for the Mistress of the Night act. Maybe for today she could just be Ronnie?
    â€œOkay, back to the hotties,” Wendy said. “Which one?”
    Rhonda glanced back at Blake, honestly not remembering having seen him with Christian. “That was years ago. Are you sure he had the same assignment? It would be hard to overlook a guy who’s that perfect.”
    â€œYes.” Alice nodded. “Maggie said it was their last gig together as feds. Maybe his hair color was different? I know your hair isn’t that black.”
    If Rhonda wore her true blond, she wouldn’t recognize herself. She tried to get a better look at him but there were so many people, women, around the group of way-too-handsome groomsmen. “Sorry, I just don’t recall.” Had Blake been a stripper too? “And let me remind you, Christian’s act was G-string, no frontal. So if you want to know what he looks like nude, ask Maggie.”
    â€œJeeze, like she’d tell us,” Alice complained.

    Like everything else planned for the day, dinner was perfect. Rhonda made enough money to splurge on meals like this, but eating alone never seemed appropriate for fine dining. Besides, she was a mac and cheese kind of girl. By the time she was seven she’d learned to cook and could grill like nobody’s business. But when her father would barely touch food, she’d opted for simpler meals for easy clean-up, especially on the days when he was too drunk to make it to the bathroom.
    The head table was long and, thankfully, Rhonda was at the far end. She even managed to maneuver one of the flower arrangements to hide behind. The first dance was a gift from Ryan Sheppard, who hadn’t been able to attend but had flown in Ne-Yo to sing. After that, Rhonda managed to smile while gritting her teeth when she was forced to go on display again and dance with her groomsman, a behemoth of guy who would make any defensive lineman look tiny. On the plus side, while Dozier was exotically sexy and hot, his size made her look even smaller. People tended not to notice small.
    Dozier didn’t say much but appeared to be as uncomfortable as she. “I don’t dance,” he whispered to her, obviously embarrassed.
    â€œOh, sweetie, you make Dwayne Johnson look like yesterday’s breakfast. They’re all looking at your face, maybe your butt in that tux, but certainly not your feet.”
    He grinned and
