Unfinished Pieces by Brooke Parker

Protective Hero
There are two things you should know about Clark Day: he has perfected his brooding sexiness, and he is fiercely overprotective of his younger sisters. I knew he only saw me as their annoying friend, mostly ignoring me since our teenage years with the exception of chasing off any guy who showed interest in me. Now his eyes tend to linger, and a slow chemistry is building between us. One stupid night proves just how explosive that heat is, changing everything between us.
In the aftermath, we have a decision to make, and I need his support now more than ever.
Having been around Layne McGuire for years, I know a couple things: she has turned into an attractive woman with soft curves, and she has horrible judgment when it comes to members of the opposite sex. I had always watched out for her, and something was undeniably shifting between us. I could only dismiss the sparks for so long, leading us to one night of passion, but the real backfire came a month later.
In the end, who would have thought the person she needed protection from was me?
