A surgeon with a god complex. An attorney with zero patience. One reckless moment that changes everything.
I don't do impulsive.
I do order and structure. I do airtight arguments and depositions that make egotistical surgeons sweat. Protecting the families of Hobie, Texas, is my job-and I'm damn good at it.
Which is why dragging Dr. Xavier Rhodes into a dark, empty hospital room is. wildly off-brand for me.
Xavier is everything I avoid. Arrogant. Smugly gorgeous. Infuriating at every turn. And unfortunately? A brilliant surgeon with hands capable of things I absolutely should not be thinking about.
Our "one-time" lapse becomes a habit-hot, stolen moments between two men who don't have time for anything real. It's messy. It's addictive. And it's the most alive I've felt in years.
But when a life-or-death emergency throws us together, the truth hits hard: 
I can keep the careful life I built. 
or risk everything for the complicated man I can't walk away from.
