Shane has a plan in mind, revolving around the welfare of his business, and Brooke isn't part of it. Three years ago, he learnt everything he ever wished to know about women, now he has one use for them; but then, Brooke comes back to town. Ten years ago, Brooke's reason of breathing used to be annoying the hell out of her brother and his best friend, Shane Vaughan. Needless to say, that had nothing to do with her humongous crush on him. She's back in town and while college has made her a teeny, tiny bit more mature, she just can't resist raising their blood pressure. Shane has never been as pissed off as the day when he overheard her saying that she's considering hiring a professional to "take care" of her V-Card before her next birthday. What is he gonna do about it? — The Brat is a standalone; you met Shane in On Top, Brooke in Try and Play me Boy, but now, it's their story.
