Slow Burn — Cheryl Douglas

Kendra
He took my virginity then kissed me on the forehead and sent me on my way. The bastard! I knew the odds of someone as sexy and experienced as Drake falling for his best friend's little sister were slim, but he'd known I had a thing for him forever. How could he use me that way? But I dried my tears, went away to college, and forgot all about him. Not. Now I'm back, just passing through town. He says he wants me to stay, to be his. Ha! He's about to learn the lesson he taught me… you can't always get what you want.

Drake
I didn't want to let her go the first time, but her dreams were too big for our tiny town. So I did what I thought was right. For her. Because I loved her enough to let her go. But the punishment for my good deed? Having to hear about all her other boyfriends, knowing those bastards were taking what was a mine, a part of her she'd promised she'd never share with anyone else. I can't do anything about the past. She made mistakes, so did I. But now she's back. She thinks she's leaving me again, but she doesn't realize how determined I am… to make her stay.
