Michelle Douglas - The Rebel Returns

Jax pulled away. “I have to get the sauce... It’s getting too hot. It’s bubbling over. I don’t want it to...uh, burn.”

“I know. You’re one of them.”

He shook his head. “I don’t mean me. I’m not right for you. But there’s someone better waiting to find you.”

“I doubt it.” The smiled faded from her face. “Besides, the people that you’re supposed to be able to trust the most are the first ones to let you down when you really need them.”
