Tattooed. Jacked. Gruff. Three things that make Officer Handsome—sorry, Hansen—irresistible. It wouldn’t be much of a problem if he wasn’t my new roommate, and completely unavailable. Every day I need to remind myself I don’t have time for a relationship. I have a clinic to run, animals to save, and a job offer to consider. But the day I walk in on him half-naked, all bets are off. He says it can’t last—his lips tell a different story. The way they feel on my skin is addicting. Beneath his grumpy exterior, he has a huge… ahem… heart, and a family that means everything. In a month, his house will be finished, and he’ll be gone. But every night we’re together makes me want to wake up in his arms every morning. We agreed this was only a temporary fling. But what if temporary is meant to last forever?
