Grace Myers fell hopelessly in love at sweet sixteen. Seventeen years later, it's still hopeless. She's grown into a confident, independent woman who owns her own veterinarian practice-but Alec Fitzsimmons still treats her like the little girl from church. Will he ever see past her status as his son's best friend? Alec's life takes a turn worthy of a roller coaster when he realizes he isn't dating and decides he should be. A Latter-day Saint widower with a grown son, the dating pool is shallow but still terrifying. Worst of all is his growing attraction to the girl-next-door, lovely Grace Myers. He's all wrong for her, but his heart won't take no for an answer. Not from him, anyway.
