Cameron’s office manager, Daniela, leaned her head inside Cameron’s partially open office door. “Molly wanted me to let you know that her patient in Room 3 is ready for his exam.” Daniela stepped inside Cameron’s office, lowering her voice. “He’s that hot lawyer I was telling you about. I checked his paperwork, and it says he’s single.”
Cameron gaped at her. “Daniela!”
Daniela had started working for her two months ago when she’d started her practice, and the two of them had become fast friends. But normally Daniela was more professional.
She smiled. “I’m just saying. He’s single, you’re single.”
“Not interested.” She’d given up on love. After Miles, all she wanted was to be safe. Having to cover up the murder of one husband was enough for a lifetime. “Plus, it’s against the American Dental Association code of ethics to date your patients.”
“So we’ll find him another dentist.”
Cameron shot Daniela a look. “I’m serious.” She stood from her desk and slipped on her lab coat. “Not to mention I’m perfectly happy being single.”
Daniela shrugged. “Okay, but you might change your mind after you see him. Unless you’re not into that tall, dark, and so-handsome-you-can’t-even-think-straight type.” She flashed Cameron a wink before disappearing into the hall.
“So unprofessional,” Cameron muttered before she stepped out of her office. She walked down the hallway, allowing her mind to wonder what it would be like to have loveandbe safe. To be truly happy with someone.
Cameron’s heart fluttered when she spotted the lawyer’s profile as he reclined in the dental chair in Room 3. Daniela had understated his looks.
Get a hold of yourself.
She took a deep breath as she entered the room and extended her hand. “Good morning. I’m Dr. Henson.”
He sat up, meeting her gaze with his earth-tone brown eyes and a row of perfect teeth that you didn’t even have to be a dentist to appreciate. He pressed his smooth, strong hand against hers.
“Hi,” he said, his voice warm, his smile easy. “I’m John.”
