Despite knowing that he only saw me as his best friend, I couldn't help but weave tantalizing fantasies about him. Now, after years of maintaining a long-distance friendship, destiny brings Smith to Burton, where he'll become my partner at the veterinary clinic I recently took over. To add to the mix, he'll also be my tenant in the new house I've acquired. I believed I could handle working closely with him without getting hot and bothered. But perhaps I was mistaken. Smith From the very moment I laid eyes on Maureen Evans, I wanted her. Yet, she never seemed open to taking our relationship to the next level. Eventually, I resigned myself to the friend zone, convinced that we were destined to remain just that—friends. Even though we've lived miles apart for years, Maureen remains the one who got away, the one I can't forget. So when she proposes that we become partners at the veterinary clinic, I jump at the chance. Maybe there's still hope for us. Maybe, with a little effort on my part, we can finally seize our shot at love. And so, while Maureen tries to maintain the boundaries of our friendship, I persistently push them, blurring the line between flirtation and something deeper. When friendship is no longer enough, love inevitably comes into play. Discover the power of love as it reshapes our lives.
