Marcus leaned forward, clearly relishing his role as information broker. "No, he didn't. Sean Shaw never showed up at his own engagement party with Christina Jordan."

I forced my expression to remain neutral, though I felt anything but composed. "Then what happened?"

"Then how do you know all this?" I asked, working to keep my voice steady.

"I was working at Shaw Group back then," Marcus replied with undisguised pride.
