She doesn’t have the time, or the heart, for romance, no matter how handsome the new visiting pediatrics doctor is, and she definitely doesn’t have time for a puppy.As a unicorn shifter, Doctor Becket can heal anything…except for a broken heart. The only problem is that every time he does, he loses a little bit of his own time and life.
