The moment she moved in next door to me, I knew I had to have Bia. Shy, quiet but oh so seductive, my mysterious new neighbor makes my blood rush and my body react. And I can tell she’s interested, too. But I don’t play the romance game. I’m the chief cardiothoracic surgeon at All Saints. I know all about the weakness of the human heart.

And yet, every time she says my name, looks at me, something deep inside me stirs.

I try to tell myself I want nothing more from her than hot, wild sex. I try to tell myself all I feel for her is purely physical. It’s just raw lust. But with one taste of her sweet lips, I know it’s so much more. It’s more than lust, more than desire. I want her. I crave her.

But Bia has her own secrets, and those secrets may us apart.
