It took me years to get over my fiance sleeping with another woman. I thought my luck with men had finally turned around until I walked in on my new fiance with my maid-of-honor.

I'm done with men entirely. I'm definitely old enough to know better than to let that happen to me again. Trust isn't something I have in me to give . . . to anyone. At least, not anymore. Besides, even if I wanted to give someone my everything, I have nothing left to give. Now, if Walker could be less handsome, his relationship with his nephew not quite as sexy and his body . . . well, let's not get crazy. His body is just a gift to womankind.

The moment I laid eyes on Ellie, I knew she'd be full of spit and vinegar. And why wouldn't she be? She'd just caught her fiance with her maid of honor-and they weren't chatting about the upcoming nuptials. I can't help but push her buttons. Maybe having her work for me in my vet clinic wasn't the smartest move I've ever made considering I can't stop my body from aching for her. She said she was done with men entirely, that she's broken, but I can't help but hope that she realizes she's all I need.
