Mine Forever (Unabridged‪)‬

First titled A Reason to Love, Mine Forever is the updated version.

Dr. Niki Hamilton has given up on men and is focusing her attention on her patients. After three kids in her care die, she is determined to get away from nasty threats and ugly reporters. Niki goes to the Jersey Shore to visit her friend, ex-Playboy centerfold, Kim. She ends up running Kim's dating service, "Coffee Mates". Cary Thomas, a hot gardener (or so Niki thinks) arrives with plants, a sexy smile, and lots of personality. Whenever he's near, Niki's hormones go into overdrive. Common sense aside, Niki embarks on a relationship with a man she thinks she has no business being with. But can love survive long distance and the threats on her life?
