A
VETERINARIAN SETS OUT TO CONVINCE A SPUNKY DOG GROOMER THAT FRIENDSHIP AND
ROMANCE ARE A GREAT COMBINATION….
Kayla Bedford had lofty visions of running off
to Paris and marrying the prince of her dreams. But before she left, she needed
to find a significant other for her conservative boss and best friend, Patrick
Walcott….
And who better than her older–– by twelve minutes –– identical sister?
Kayla was sure they'd get along famously. But as the seconds ticked down for
her sister's big date with Patrick, a wave of jealously washed over Kayla.
Suddenly it seemed her Prince Charming had been right beside her all along. But
how was she going to convince Patrick that she was the girl of his dreams?
––––––––––
"YOU LOOK GREAT"
Kayla mumbled as her sister left the room. "Patrick will be blown away."
Kayla
slumped on the sofa and pulled a pillow close to her chest. "It's not
fair. Patrick never asked me out to a romantic dinner by the water. He's never asked me out at all. Not that I wanted him
to. We're not a couple. But still, he could have...."
Her
voice trailed off. Confusing feelings swirled inside
her. Why was she jealous? She'd invited her sister specifically to meet
Patrick. They obviously got along—he'd asked her out within minutes of
meeting her. Kayla's plan had worked. Everything was turning out exactly as it
should.
So why
did she feel so empty inside — and why was her heart aching?
