Book excerpt: She was the one woman he couldn't have, and the one he can't forget. Medical student Michael Harper does not enjoy losing control. After conquering the cutthroat business world, he walked away to become a doctor, and risked his future to secretly date Dr. Angela Perkins. In the bedroom, he ran the show, but at the hospital, it was clear she was in charge. It destroyed their love, and Michael chose to bury his feelings for her in the past. Fate has a different plan because now they're working in close quarters on the same patient. He can't forgive her, yet he hungers for her touch, her body, her voice, every hour of every day. No matter the cost, no matter the pain, he needs her back in his arms and his bed. And the price will be higher than he ever imagined . . .
