description: She Was Always The Girl Of His Dreams
  
  In high school, she was the girl most likely to live happily ever after -- rich, popular, beautiful…and maybe just a little mean. But Heather Winters' dreams of marriage and motherhood haven't worked out as she hoped. Now she's back in Arizona, trying to reinvent herself. She knows what she doesn't want: a serious relationship. She doesn't remember Robert Caldwell from high school, but the good-looking K-9 officer is everything she's looking for in a short-term fling.
  
  A routine traffic stop brings Rob face to face with the girl who fueled his teenage fantasies -- and she's even more ravishing than ever. The former homecoming queen didn't know he was alive back then. Now she's changed -- and she's hurting. Despite how great they are together in bed, Heather isn't letting him anywhere near her heart. But he's got a plan -- and with a little help from his canine partner, Tricks, he'll show Heather that together, they have all the happiness they'll ever need…
