His Brother's Keeper — Tressie Lockwood

Brand Johansson wasn't overly interested in getting to know his brothers and his uncle. As a child, he was adopted because his mother abandoned him. His adoptive parents decided he wasn't what they wanted. Twice betrayed, he didn't have a whole lot of use for family and little patience with other people. Most often, anger drove him, but that didn't get in the way of his job as a private investigator. When Brand's younger brother sets his sights on Shawnita Taylor, Brand knows it isn't a good idea. He figures the best way to foil his brother's plans is to seduce her himself. Not an easy task when Brand's bad attitude causes him to insult her loud enough for an entire room full of people to hear. Soon Brand realizes Shawnita is the perfect lover. He can't get enough of her of sweet body or her sassy mouth. The question is will she trust him once he reveals a secret that could destroy the tenuous relationship between his brothers?
