About this ebook
I’ve had a crush on Smith Harrington since college—the kind that never really goes away, no matter how hard you try to outgrow it.
Years later, when I offer him a partnership at my veterinary clinic and a room in my new house, I tell myself it’s strictly business. We’re adults now. I can handle being around him without turning into that tongue-tied girl with the pounding heart.
But living together changes everything. He teases, he helps, he looks at me like maybe he’s been waiting just as long as I have. And suddenly, every line I drew between friendship and something more starts to disappear.
Maybe he was never the one who got away.
Maybe he’s the one who was meant to stay.
