  Shelly can’t believe she’s fallen for another cheater. The last few weeks
  swimming at the pool next to Brandon had almost convinced her she could get
  over her ex-fiancé and date again.
  
  
  Brandon is excited to be back home with a career that can finally hold a
  candle to his twin brother’s success. But when Shelly suddenly turns cold,
  Brandon has to figure out why.
