RIGHT PLACE, WRONG TIME

When Dr. Elliot Mallory met Georgina "George" Hathaway, almost everything seemed to be right. They liked the same jokes, shared a love of sports, and the chemistry that drew them together was the most powerful he'd ever known.

If she tied herself to him now she'd be cheated out of all that the future could hold. He had every intention of doing the noble thing and telling her goodbye, but George had a very disconcerting way of lingering in his heart.
