Of all the times her big brother had showed up unannounced, this had to be the worst. She’d finally been making headway in her quest to prove that she’d put her wild partying days behind her. She’d even managed to finagle a promise out of Rob that he’d speak to their dad on her behalf and vouch for her new, responsible ways. Now any endorsement from her brother was about to be shot to hell. He’d just walked in on her and her one-night stand, for Pete’s sake—how was that going to convince him she’d changed? And no matter how tough he looked, Rob happened to be the biggest daddy’s boy in her family, which meant he’d rat her out in a heartbeat. Panic scurried up her spine as she envisioned her infuriating brother telling their dad about the scene he’d just stumbled on. Crap. She couldn’t let that happen. Please, please, please just go with it. She silently pleaded at AJ from behind her brother’s head, praying that he’d back her up.
