description: FRAGILE: HANDLE WITH CARE
  
  After a marriage to an actor who loved himself more than her, Emily Squires realized she would rather pursue her career as a veterinarian and come home in the evenings to her adorable oversize puppy, Gus.
  
  But then she met Lloyd Gordon, who threatened her self-sufficient life-style. A widower for five years, Lloyd was ready to rid himself of the guilt he had carried for too long. But he needed someone able to receive all he had to offer.
  
  Could they put their pasts behind them and learn that the warm bond of trust is better than walking on thin ice?
