Instead, she focused on her aunt and spent as much time as she could on Aunt Claire’s Indiana farm.
    Cyn had met Cooper and Brody during those visits and had fallen madly in love, as only a teenage girl could. Unfortunately, she had also had her heart broken by them the summer before she entered college. The only good thing that had come out of the will her parents had written up was that she had been able to choose the college she wanted to, leading her to develop her friendship with Shea and Elise.
    “I’m sorry, are we talking about the summer when you said you loved me? Or are we talking about the summer afterward? You know, the one where you said your career came first and that I wasn’t going to fit into your plans?”
    “You know damn well that wasn’t how we meant it,” Brody snapped. His green eyes were lighter than his brother’s, and they were now shooting sparks at her. He was easily riled compared to Cooper, which was why he was the perfect target for her to set her sights on. If she made him angry enough, he might just walk away.
    “Stop it, you two,” Cooper ordered, holding up his hands. “Silk, we did what we thought was right at the time. We were entering the Marines and there are certain expectations that must be upheld. It wouldn’t have been right for us to ask you to wait. Now that we are out, we are free to create the life we want.”
    “And you think that life is with me?” Cyn slowly picked up her Italian designer black gloves that matched her sweater. Slipping her fingers inside one by one, she tried to make a statement that would resonate with them. “You have one thing right, and that is that I didn’t wait for you. In case you haven’t been reading my books, you should know that I don’t base my stories on inexperience. It takes real-life familiarity to put those words on paper in order to draw other people in. I’m not the woman you want. Feel free to try our dating website, though. You might have better luck.”
    Forcing herself to get those final words out almost had her crying, but she bit her lip hard enough to ward off the tears. She had needed to say them, knowing Cooper and Brody wouldn’t leave her alone any other way. The words were baseless, and they were as false as her saying her bank account had a zero balance. The day they had told her that they couldn’t see her anymore ranked right up there with the day she had gotten the news that her parents had died in a boating accident. The only difference had been that she hadn’t been able to control the events leading up to her parents’ death. But she’d willingly given her heart to Cooper and Brody, loving them with every fiber of her being, only to have it handed back to her in shreds. What they didn’t understand was that this wasn’t about holding a grudge or trying to get even. It was the simple truth of her soul not being able to handle them walking away again if something were to dictate them to do so.
    “I suggest the omelet, if you decide to actually have breakfast,” Cyn said, standing up with her Louis Vuitton purse. She didn’t want to give them the chance to comment on her lies. “Enjoy your day.”

    “I’m getting real tired of her attitude,” Brody said gruffly, pushing Cooper out of the booth so that he’d have more room. Once Cooper was situated on the other side of the table, Brody shrugged out of the stifling jacket he was wearing. It was in the high fifties, but the chill in the air warranted another layer of clothing. The nice thing about Arizona was that it wouldn’t be cold for long. He ran his palm over his shorn hair, liking that he didn’t have to mess with it in the morning. “She acts like she’s some high-class society girl and that we mean nothing to her. If she keeps this up, she’ll find herself over my knee with her designer panties around her ankles.”
    “Stop with the visual, would you?” Cooper grumbled, shifting in his seat. “You know that
