He vowed to never fall in love again... Sexy, tall, dark and handsome Dr. Alonso Romero was scarred in childhood from losing those close to him, including his first girlfriend, to whom he'd proposed marriage. When she died, he took that as a sign he should never marry. Losing a loved one hurt too much. His remedy? Never get close to another woman--and never wed. To his tycoon grandfather, Toni Romero, Alonso is the only disappointment in the family who has not tied the knot and settled down like his other once-professed bachelor brothers. But that's just fine with Alonso, until... Beautiful and feisty street nurse, Britney Andropolous, walks into Alonso's office late one night and straight into his heart. She's on the run from a dangerous past. He wants to help her but the trouble is, he's falling for her. Will he keep his distance and his declaration to never get close? Or will Britney's dainty curves and warm heart melt Alonso's defenses?
