First published 2011
Carina Fiore grooms pets at the veterinary clinic where she works for Cameron McKenzie. She watches him care for animals and his young daughter with equal tenderness. Carina wants to tell Cameron how she feels, but the words stay trapped inside her. He's her boss and her friend. Confessing her love could destroy both relationships and leave her with nothing. Cameron notices how Carina's eyes follow him around the clinic. Since his divorce, he has built walls around his heart and his daughter's. He pushes away thoughts of holding Carina, telling himself their friendship matters more than one night together. But when mistletoe brings them close enough for a kiss, the barriers they've built start to crumble. The passion they've both been hiding threatens to change everything between them. This holiday season might finally give them the courage to risk their hearts.
