Dear Reader,

Best friends! They’re wonderful to have! You do everything together: share experiences, celebrate victories and losses…and stay adamant about remaining bachelors. Yep, Adam Cordeiro and Sebastian Texeira are childhood buddies, and they are both determined to remain unattached. But what happens when one best friend falls for the other best friend’s kid sister? Oh my!

That’s exactly what happens to Adam after catching Natália Texeira in her barely-theres. Natália is even less inclined to tie the knot—especially since she’s always had a little crush on the hunky Brazilian doc. But when the kindling is ignited it turns into a blaze that nothing can extinguish…not even Sebastian’s blatant disapproval.

I loved these two characters. Natália’s vulnerability struck a chord with me, and I so wanted to give her the happy ending she deserved.

Thank you for joining Adam and Natália as they struggle to overcome deep emotional issues from the past. And maybe—just maybe—this special couple will decide that love is worth fighting for. I hope you love reading about their journey as much as I loved writing about it.

Enjoy!

Love,

Tina Beckett

CHAPTER ONE

THE VIEW WAS SPECTACULAR. At least from where he stood. And not at all what Dr. Adam Cordeiro expected when he opened the door to the exam room.

Instead of eighty-seven-year-old Delfina Benton, who was confined to a wheelchair, the figure in front of him stood on her own two feet. Although all he could see of the person at the moment was a pair of frilly fuchsia panties. And since she was facing away from him and bent over at the waist, trying to force her foot into a pair of black jeans...

Meu Deus do céu.

He glanced at the electronic file in his hand. Room 206. And the placard on the wall beside him read...204. Damn. Wrong room.

Slowly backing away, he was just getting ready to close the door when the figure straightened and then whirled around with a couple of hopped steps until she’d moved far enough to look at him. Her face turned the color of that lacy undergarment. “Adam! What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack?”

Him? Give her a heart attack? He didn’t think so.

“You are very lucky it wasn’t Sebastian who opened this door.”

“I thought I locked it.”

One leg was still half-buried in the leg of the jeans, while the other impossibly long limb was completely bare. And sexy.

And...hell, no!

Where was the pale, skinny little girl he’d practically grown up with? Not here, that was for sure.

The woman standing before him was all feminine curves and dark-lashed eyes. And...

Off limits.

Completely off limits. His comment about Sebastian wasn’t totally misguided, because if someone happened to come into this room and see them, both he and Natália would have a whole lot of explaining to do. Besides being his best friend, Sebastian Texeira was pretty damn protective of his little sister. With good reason.

“Well, you didn’t lock it.” Realizing the door was still open, he swung it closed, shutting off the view to anyone else who might happen by. It took more strength than he expected, but he somehow managed to pivot to face the door. “You might want to finish what you started.”
