Who knew a trip to the ER in a strange city would bring me face-to-face to the man who shattered my world a decade ago?

A freak accident lands me in an unfamiliar hospital. The last person I expect to see is Shep, my ex from another lifetime.

The moment our eyes lock, the world stops turning. The same burning connection between us is still there, only now I hate him with every fiber of my being.

He chose med school in another city over me, breaking promises and my heart. Now, here in the flesh, there is an intensity in him that still makes me wet.

Stuck in his city for rehab, I cant escape him or my feelings. Each touch and lingering glance erodes my defenses, devouring my resolve.

As I recover, Sheps unwavering support forces me to reconsider everything. Can I leave the past behind and make it work, or is there too much baggage and distance to undo the past?

This is Shep and Elles story. It blends a second chance, single father, forced proximity, and the fiery tension of enemies to lovers. Shep may have a reputation for not settling down, but with Elle, everything changes. While this story is 1 of 4 books set at UAB, each focusing on a different love story with a too-hot-to-handle doctor, it is a stand-alone book filled with twists, challenges, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
