An Oregon dog groomer teaches a brokenhearted veterinarian to heal in this contemporary romance by the author of Puppy Love.

When Zoe Hornsby isn't running her successful pet grooming business, she's busy caring for her mother's ailing mind. As far as she's concerned, the town gossips of Redwood Ridge, Oregon, can set their matchmaking sights on someone else. Once upon a time, she harbored a little crush on sexy veterinarian Drake O'Grady, but he'd only had eyes for her best friend. And neither Zoe nor Drake is willing to acknowledge the crazy attraction building between them now.

Drake is finally clawing his way out of grief after losing his wife to cancer. That doesn't mean he's ready to jump in the dating pool, no matter how much his family tries to push him and Zoe together. As his dead wife's best friend, she's strictly off limits. And yet she makes his blood roar like he never thought it could again. Could it be that limits were made to be pushed?
