Always for You — Tawdra Kandle

Maureen Evans has had a crush on Smith Harrington since they were in college together. She always knew he didn't see her as anything more than his best friend--just one of the guys--but that didn't stop her from weaving sexy fantasies about him.

Now, after years of maintaining a long-distance friendship, Smith's moving to Burton, Georgia, Maureen's hometown, to become her partner at the veterinary clinic. After all this time, she should be able to handle working with him without getting hot and bothered.

Or maybe not.

The more determined Maureen is to maintain their just-friends bond, the more Smith seems intent on testing those boundaries. And when flirting crosses the line into something more, it ends in a night neither of them can forget.

When friendship is no longer enough, there's always love.
