Reese looked up from her computer to see ‘The Hawk’ leaning against her door jamb. His broad shoulders nearly filled up the small space, his dark, smoky eyes watching her, his hands jammed into the pockets at his denim-clad narrow hips.

Her fingers paused on her keyboard. He almost looked…vulnerable. She smiled, nearly laughing aloud at the thought. Vulnerable was probably the worst word to describe Mark Hawk.

Whatever descriptive word best suited him, the effect was endearing.

“What are you doing here?”

“I was hoping to talk to you when my guard dog of a brother wasn’t around.”

She frowned. “Seriously? Why?”

He shrugged and gave a half smile that, for a moment, reminded her of Ben. “I wondered if you’d forgotten you’d promised me a date. And a kiss.”

“Oh.” She hadn’t forgotten. Not exactly, but she’d managed to finish step five without him, and mistake or not, she wasn’t the kind of girl to make out with two brothers in a single week.

“You’re cute when you work,” he said, straightening.

Not what she’d expected. Her mouth dried. “Thanks?” The word came out like a question.

He chuckled. “You’re not good at taking compliments are you?”

Reese tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. “It’s never been a personal strength of mine.”

“I’m surprised. Everyone loves you. You must get compliments all the time.”

Her cheeks heated and she grasped for a safe topic. “Have you thought any thought to your costume for the bachelor auction?”

His face went blank.

“Do you even read your work emails?”

His lip twitched. “I would if they were ever any fun.”

She laughed, couldn’t help herself. “You’re consistent, Hawk. I can say that for you.”

“Consistent. Yes, that’s how every man dreams a pretty girl will see him.”

She shrugged. “There are worse qualities.”

Mark moved from the doorway and dropped into one of the chairs facing her desk. “I bet you think my brother is something better than consistent.”

“Ha! Ben is—” She leaned back in her chair and put both hands in her hair, searching for the word.

“Perfect? Hardworking? All my mother ever wanted in a son?”

Reese frowned. “Wow, there was a lot of resentment there. Where’d that come from?”

Mark gave a bashful grin. “Sorry, old rivalries die hard, I guess.”

“I never would have guessed you’d feel so inferior to your brother.”

He lifted a shoulder then leaned forward on your desk. “Ben’s got it good.”

“Sure, but some would argue you do as well.”

“He’s the Midas of construction. Everything he touches is successful.”

“You have a nationally syndicated radio show.”

“His profession is universally respected. Something Mom can brag about to her friends.”

“You have a great salary. A book deal. Fans across the country.”

“Ben has you,” he said softly.

Reese flinched then forced a smile. “What do you mean by that? We’re just friends.” God, she was sick of hearing herself say those words.

He cocked his head. “He’s the reason you panicked about what happened between us. Wasn’t he? He was a mess about Lisa, but you wanted to be there when he snapped out of it.”

She swallowed hard. Mark was too astute.
