Benjiro Taniguchi has been toying with the idea of opening his own physical therapy practice after leaving the Army. Lately, however, his big-city plans have been overshadowed by his regrets about the small-town girl who got away. When one of his old Army buddies calls with an unexpected job offer, he jumps at the chance to see what the buzz is all about at Anderson Ranch.

But being the glue that holds her sisters together doesn’t keep her from wondering how much happiness she forfeited when she turned down Ben’s marriage proposal all those years ago.

Now he’s back — older, wiser, and hotter than ever. If only the sparks flying between them were an automatic fix to the old wounds being opened.

Someone who clearly doesn’t understand just how much opposites attract…
