Michael:

Two years ago, I made a mistake, a big one. Then I added a couple more just for good measure. I screwed up my life, but I survived. Now I have the opportunity for a fresh start. Two years in New Zealand. Away from the LA gossip, a chance to breathe, to rebuild my life. But I'm taking a new set of rules with me.

I don't do relationships.

I don't do commitment.

I don't do white picket fences.

And I especially don't do arrogant, holier-than-thou, smoking hot K9 officers who walk into my ER and rock my world.

Josh:

One thing for certain, Dr. Michael Oliver is an arrogant, untrustworthy player, and I barely survived the last one of those. He might be gorgeous, but my daughter takes number one priority. I won't risk her being hurt, again. I'm a solo Dad, a K9 cop, and a son to pain-in-the-arse parents.

I don't have time for games.

I dont' have time for taking chances.

I don't have time for more complications in my life.

And I sure as hell don't have time for the infuriating Dr. Michael Oliver, however damn sexy he is.
