Can true love
When Julianna Murillo first met and had a fling with Dr. Terrence Rhodes nearly two years ago, she was young and hopeful about love and romance. Now, she's a different person. One who doesn't have time for love. She's finally living her dream as a successful travel nurse; and despite her mother's wishes, she isn't looking to settle down anytime soon. But when she has a surprise reunion with Terrence, old feelings resurface. Feelings that may be strong enough to weaken her resolve. But she's not sure Terrence is ready for anything more than another casual fling.

On the surface, Terrence seems like a playboy bachelor. Only those closest to him know he's struggling. After losing his wife under tragic circumstances, he vowed to never let love into his life again. Which is why all he wants are casual encounters. Too bad he can't forget Julianna. When he reunites with her, he's sure of two things: she still makes his heart race, and he wants her. The problem is, as much as he wants Julianna, the painful memory of his loss haunts his every moment with her.

once in a lifetime?

As Julianna and Terrence grow closer, his fear becomes stronger, and he tries harder to pull away. What Terrence doesn't realize is Julianna has fears of her own. Even though she's falling for him, part of her is afraid that in loving him, she may lose herself. But she can't fight what she feels for him-or the desire to pull him from the darkness of grief. As she tries to help him heal the wounds of his past and reopen his heart, will she be able to keep her own heart safe? Will they be able to overcome their fears, or will they allow them to ruin any chances they have of finding happiness together?
