EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMEBODY

Social worker Katie Donovan was tired of being the world's caretaker. She'd spent her whole life giving, but no more. Her current mission in life was to become footloose and fancy-free, and her plans certainly didn't include a man--especially one radiating as much masculine appeal as Judd Jordan.
