Friendship is overrated, if you ask her
She's always just been one of the guys…until she falls in love
with one of the guys. Except Bailey Sheppard has carried a
torch for firefighter Ethan Bishop since high school. And now that
his long-term girlfriend has left him brokenhearted, she's free to go
after what she's always wanted.
Not that Ethan sees Bailey as anything but a friend. A best friend
maybe, but still not a woman he'd be interested in. Pining for his ex
has made him blind to the possibility of happiness with anyone else….
But can Ethan resist a woman who knows what she wants?
Excerpt:
Ethan
snatched the phone away before Jim could answer the text, which he
knew he was aching to do, and slid it into his shirt pocket. He
pulled the truck to the side of the highway behind an old, rusted red
Volkswagen Jetta and jumped down onto the gravel. He positioned two
traffic cones in the inside lane, forcing the oncoming traffic to
take the outside lane, as Bailey’s tow truck pulled in front of the
Jetta and she climbed out, clipboard in hand.
“I’ll
be here if you need me,” Jim called from inside the truck,
reclining the seat and shutting his eyes.
“You’re
not even going to get out of the truck?”
“It’s
a simple backup call. I only came along to get out of clinic duty.”
Ethan
shook his head as he closed the truck door. It amazed him how their
work ethic differed so drastically. Jim was four years older, yet
he’d never shown any interest in advancing his rank at the fire
hall. Ethan had worked hard, proving himself to his senior coworkers
and landing the position of captain by the time he was twenty-four.
He
approached Bailey at the front of the vehicle where she spoke to a
short, frazzled-looking bald man. “I’ll just need your driver’s
license and your credit card…and I’ll have you hooked up and
ready to go in just a few minutes. Feel free to sit in the truck to
wait. The air-conditioning is on and it’s much cooler in there.”
The
man disappeared inside the cab of the tow truck and Ethan waited
until he was out of earshot before saying, “This car has to be at
least thirty years old.” He leaned against the bumper to watch her
work and the metal frame creaked in protest.
“That
thing looks about to fall off,” she warned as she put the tow
dolly’s coupler in open position by lowering the locking lever all
the way down and inserting the locking pin to secure it in place.
Good
point, he thought as he stood. “So, before I forget, we’re
holding Luke’s bachelor party at the fire hall tonight—poker,
darts, beer, the baseball game.… If you’re not doing anything,
stop by.” Bailey was a regular at their weekly poker games, much to
the dismay of the other guys, whose wallets she emptied.
“Stop
by? To Luke’s bachelor party—the ultimate boys night?” She
sounded incredulous as she inserted the electrical plug from the
dolly into the switch on the back of the tow truck. That way the
brake lights and turning signals on the dolly would work while en
route to the shop.
“Yeah,
why not?” He knew Luke wouldn’t mind. Bailey had always been like
a third, less-annoying sister to the groom to be, and she kept his
ancient, rusted-out truck on the road.
“I
have Victoria’s bachelorette party tonight. A wine and cheese in
the backyard of the Brookhollow Inn.” She crisscrossed the chains
and connected them to the eyelets on the bumper of the car.
“That
sounds awful.”
“You’re
telling me.”
