Raegan Reynolds never realized just how hot the spotlight could burn until it nearly destroyed her surgical career. She knows who she is now, and she wonβt let any man make her forget again. All she wants is to enjoy her vacation in the Dominican Republic before she lands the role of Denverβs Graton Gift Hospitalβs newest chief surgeon.
Thirty seconds. Thatβs all it takes for one perfect specimen of a man to take control of her passion. Under his rock-steady hands, her knees go too weak to do what she ought to doβwalk away.
Women donβt make Dr. Noah Alexanderβs hands go clammyβuntil this one. One look at her freckled nose, crooked grin and intelligent eyes, and his pulse races. But she refuses to reveal her real name.
Peeling away her layers wonβt be easy, but heβs determined to make it happen. Just when heβs broken through her walls, however, Raeganβs reminded that giving into passion means sacrificing her career.
Noahβs going to prove her wrong.
Heβs done playing games. For the first time where love is concerned, heβs playing for keeps.
