Friends and Lovers — Emily Elliott

He was the best friend she'd ever had -- and they'd never even met! But they'd worked together for three years...Naomi David, a gemologist in New York and Sid Goldman, a jeweler in New Orleans. They'd shared confidences, each had suffered divorce, and now Sid was offering her a job, a chance to begin again. It was all arranged: she'd stay with him until she bought her own home. It seemed the perfect solution -- until they met and were shocked by a mutual attraction they couldn't ignore. Suddenly the easy camaraderie was gone, wiped out by a single torrid embrace. Naomi knew they could have it all, but how could she prove it to Sid, who feared a love too good to be true?
