About this ebook
He’s her biggest professional mistake and she wants him anyway.
It was only meant to be a dating app hookup.
Turns out HeartBreaker531 isn’t an anonymous medical student after all—he’s Dr. Lauren Decker’s new chief resident.
As one of the top cardiac surgeons in the United States, Lauren is fearless in the operating room, but her personal life is another matter. After her ex-husband cheated on her with a nurse half his age, she swore off men—doctors, specifically. Never again.
Then Ryan Castle walks into her hospital.
He’s sexy, infuriatingly cocky, ten years younger, and brilliant. He’s also the man Lauren never expected to see again after one anonymous night she’d planned to forget. Ryan knows exactly who she is. And he wants her anyway.
What starts as a dangerous temptation quickly becomes impossible to ignore as late nights, charged glances, and stolen moments push them closer to paying a price neither of them can afford. Ryan may be younger, but he’s just as skilled, just as determined, and far more serious about Lauren than she’d ever dreamed he would be.
Giving in could cost Lauren her reputation, her authority, and the walls she’s worked so hard to rebuild. Walking away might cost her something even greater—her heart.
A sexy, emotionally charged medical romance about forbidden attraction, second chances, and risking everything for the one person who can break down every defense.
