Contrary to what others believe, I don't think that friends should be lovers. You don't have pillow talk with your best friends. And you don't talk about other hot guys with your lover.

I believe those words, the same way I believe that Asher Kinkaide will always be there for me... as long as we don't become lovers.

I can't risk losing my best friend—the only person I've ever really counted on. After all, I saw firsthand what it did to my parents' marriage when they crossed that line.

Asher says that he wants to build a future with me, I can see it in his eyes when he watches me. I can't deny the way I burn for him, but what happens when we ignite? All I'll have left is the ashes.

That sexy veterinarian better set his sights on someone else. 

I love him too much to lose him. 

Although I'm named after the city in love, I'll remain Paris, desperately seeking love.
