Unfortunately, Charly had arrived at her interview late.

Heath had stopped just outside Lancaster, California, insisting she should rest for a bit. Unable to refuse his logic that they had plenty of time for the rest of the trip, she didn’t argue. He fell asleep on the bed when she’d taken a much-needed shower. Snuggling into the sleeping giant, she, too, had drifted off. Regretfully, they’d overslept.

Then the road construction, a couple of accidents, and the traffic had added a couple of hours more to their trip.

Even though late, her interview had gone great.

Standing on the sidewalk in front of the rehab facility, she waited for Heath to pick her up and couldn’t stop smiling. Sure it was due in part to the feedback she’d gotten from the hiring manager, but the bigger part was how excited she was to get to spend more time with her cowboy savior.

When she saw the Chevy coming down the drive, Charly realized that only a few days ago she’d never imagined she’d be waiting on any man, let alone a guy who had muscles that any professional athlete would be envious of. Then an image of Drake appeared in her head, along with a sudden dose of guilt.

But why should I be? Isn’t this normal for these brothers? But she recalled how Drake had acted around the elder Strong brothers and wondered if she’d screwed up everything.

Heath pulled the car up with the driver’s side next to her and killed the engine. She stepped toward the front of the car, heading to the passenger’s side. How can I fix my mistake? Her shoulders sagged, heavy with the weight of shame.

He opened his door as she started to go around the car. “Where are you going?”

“To get in the car.” Drake’s image smiled at her, and her heart ripped in two. There’d been no promises, no commitments spoken, but she’d crossed a line with Heath, breaking the unspoken ones.

“Come here.” His commanding tone made her tingle and filled her with concern.

“What did I do?” What fool would try to juggle two brothers? Me, of course.

He laughed. “My mother would be ashamed of me if I didn’t open your door.”

“You posing as a gentleman today?” He sure wasn’t a gentleman back at his garage yesterday. But he wasn’t the only one to blame. She carried her share, too.

“Maybe.” Heath put his arm around her, guiding her to the driver’s door. “Besides, I want you close to me, not on the other side of the car.”

“Holding tight to those reins, cowboy?”

“You betcha.” He opened the Chevy’s door for her. “After you, sweetheart.”

She scooted inside, moving to the middle of the bench seat. “Happy?”

He crawled in after her. “More than you know. How did it go?”

“Really well, I think.”

He nodded and turned the key in the ignition. “You can tell me all about it after you get some rest at the hotel.”

“A shower sounds nice, too.”

“You’ll like the room, I think.”

“One room?”

“You betcha.” His hand came down on her thigh, causing her heart to pound in her chest a little faster.
