A man broken by love and the woman determined to heal him.
Nate Kincaid, wants to get out of debt and get his family off his back over his non-existent relationship status. The first means his fledgling veterinary practice must be successful. Business before anything else. Always. The second means he needs a serious girlfriend, but after the death of his fiancé, he isn’t ready. No one knows about his nightmares. The ones that chase him into the dark places of grief. Maybe a pretend relationship would solve his second problem so he can concentrate on the first.
Full-time psychologist and part-time model, Lauren Royall, has the perfect life. As a therapist she helps people. As a model, her free spirit can flourish. When Nate suggests she pose as his girlfriend, she accepts on a lark. Lauren senses his pain and wants to help. She hadn’t counted on falling for the guy or having to face painful memories from her past.
Can she convince him to take a second chance on love? That love is worth the risk?
