  Or had wanted it.

  She donned her pink wedges then strolled out into the arena like a gladiator ready for another night of defending her own honour if not her life. A few regulars had already arrived and they sat at the bar, nursing their drink of choice. Catrin eyed them as she began polishing glasses. She felt so sad when she looked at them because they gave weight to what her mother had told her for years. Many of the men wore wedding bands and, she suspected, carried pictures of women and children in their wallets. The wallets that they plucked notes from to slip into the tiny thongs of strippers and dancers at the club. Yet here they were. Keen to ogle the young women who hung their lithe, semi-clothed bodies from the poles and swings or displayed their wares in the curtained room out back.

  She hated that working here consolidated all that Georgia had ever said about men. That they were disloyal, that they cheated or failed you in some way – especially when they got you pregnant and ruined your life.

  She shivered. Well that wouldn’t happen to her. Ever. She knew how to keep her own heart safe. She had no intention of ever surrendering to a man.

  Not even a gorgeous Frenchman who seemed to have a heart of gold.
