Penny Delgado, the live-in caregiver hired for Dr. Baron Jones’s ailing mother, is the one woman who can unsettle a doctor who never loses control in the operating room, with the press, or with women.
For months Baron has watched her from a careful distance, jaw clenched, while she takes charge of his house and gets under his skin.
With his mother stable and the family settled, he is done waiting and ready to pursue Penny with everything he has.
She is just as tired of pretending she does not want him, though an ex-husband once destroyed her trust and nearly broke her spirit, and a blunt talk with her loving mother makes her see that she is running again.
When these two stubborn people finally meet the slow burn between them, secrets come out, hearts are laid bare, and seduction becomes a dangerous pull neither of them can leave.
