But that's exactly what happens when he realizes the sexy stranger is his childhood best friend, Ramona.

Falling for Joe is a risk veterinarian Ramona Santiago knows she shouldn't take. Everyone she's trusted has let her down and left her alone except him. Can she possibly hope that she and Joe were always meant to be more than friends?
