Big Girls Don't Cry
by Cathie Linz

Leena may be down on her luck—but big girls don't cry.

Leena Riley has returned to her hometown of Rock Creek with her tail between her legs. Her fabulous plus-size modeling career in Chicago never took off, and now the only job she can land is as a receptionist in a veterinarian's office. She has to be desperate to work for Cole Flannigan...

Being two years older than Cole never spared her from his taunts in school. Now all grown up, Cole is still the golden boy, a sexy charmer with commitment issues and a short attention span—until Leena and her curves strut into his life. And though she turns his office upside-down, he can't resist the animal attraction that makes him look at Leena in a whole new light...
