The moment Dr. Jake Andrews arrives at Mercy Medical West, all the females swoon--except nurse Hope Carmichael. A widow determined never to love--and lose--again, Hope is immune to the gorgeous surgeon. Even if she fantasizes for a minute here and there about what a night with him would be like.

When her fantasy becomes a reality Hope has to resist Jake--her new boss--even more!

But the irresistible doctor is more than he seems. Behind all Jake's arrogance and ambition? A hardscrabble childhood on the streets. And the very real truth that he'll do anything to mend--and win--the heart of his favorite nurse.
