“This is the part where you apologize.” Shane took a right hand turn too
tight and fast, as he also liked to do, then grinned at her.
He had a nice smile. That smile could and did cause panties to melt off.
To her, though, it was just flashing white teeth in a nice looking face. Shane
might be like an annoying little brother, but he’d also come to be a good
friend. He was safe. He might not be overly nice as far as the rest of the

anything. We work together, and I’m done with that. I’m done taking
chances. You don’t believe that romance and love and relationships can
work. I don’t either. Let’s just leave it at that.”
