Tagline: Love,
like life, is not without risk.
Blurb:
Veterinarian Vivian
Dane has purchased her uncle’s practice in the tiny town of Wales,
Missouri, where most
residents still doubt her ability to treat their pets. But Viv is used to being
considered
less-worthy than her predecessors. After all, her parents are world-renowned
wildlife
vets, and most
everyone is unimpressed she’s chosen to not follow directly in their footsteps.
Now Connor, a
patient’s owner, is hot for Viv, but clearly doesn’t think she’s dating
material
because he has a
daughter…who he believes no woman is good enough for.
Being a perfect dad
is EMT paramedic Connor’s life focus. He can’t seem to stay away
from sexy Doctor
Viv, but attraction is as far as he’ll ever let it go. His mother abandoned
him,
leaving him to be
raised in the foster system, and then his wife abandoned both him and their
daughter. He
absolutely will not risk bringing another woman into his little girl’s life and
having
her feel the hurt of
being left…again.
Forfeiting is easier
than attempting and failing. So why does Viv feel compelled to prove
she’s a sure bet for
Connor and his daughter? Can Connor trust Viv--and himself--enough to play the
possibilities?
Excerpt:
Viv’s smile and throaty laughter burrowed
deeper by the second, mutating into hot want that seemed to draw him to her at
every opportunity. But her invitation shook him back to level ground. Dinner.
With her. Vivian Dane, the woman who seemed to freely access his dreams lately,
was asking him out.
Her voice fell to a low smoky grade that
slid like satin over him, tightening around his chest, making it hard to
breathe.
He wanted to kiss her.
Period.
There was something about her in the lab
coat he couldn’t put his finger on. She appeared
so fragile and delicate in pink that matched
her lips…china doll perfect. Kissable.
He opened his mouth to refuse. He couldn’t
afford to get close to anyone, wouldn’t risk Janna. He knew his daughter
already liked the vet, had said so. If he got involved and it all nosedived
south, he couldn’t stand to have Janna hurt. Even if she didn’t know it, Viv
was their veterinarian now and he’d have to see her, Jelly Bean would notice
the tension--
“Connor?”
“I’d like that.”
