The last thing Vance Banning needed was a charitable neighbor--especially the blond cheerleader type! But he had no idea how persistent Shane Abbott could be when it came to giving a helping hand--or a loving heart.

He'd been burned once, and only a fool fell for the same innocent act twice. And Vance was no fool.
