Anyone But You

For Nina Askew, turning 40 means freedom – from the ex-husband whose career always came first, from their stuffy suburban home. Freedom to have her own apartment in the city, freedom to focus on what she wants for a change…. And what she wants is something her ex always vetoed: a puppy. A bouncy puppy to cheer her up. Instead she gets…Fred. Overweight, smelly, and obviously suffering from some kind of doggy depression, Fred is light-years from perky. But for all his faults, he does manage to put Nina face-to-face with Alex Moore, her gorgeous, younger downstairs neighbor. Alex looks great on paper – a sexy, seemingly sane, surprisingly single E.R. doctor who shares Fred’s abiding love for Oreos – but a 10-year difference in age, despite his devastating smile, is too wide a gap for Nina to handle. Ignoring her insistent best friend, some interfering do-gooders, and the ubiquitous Fred – not to mention her suddenly raging hormones – Nina thinks anyone but Alex would be a better bet for a relationship. But the more silver-haired stiffs she dates, the more she suspects it’s the young dog-loving doctor she wants to sit and stay!
