I had no time for guys while I was concentrating so hard on my education. Of course, that was before I got kicked out of med school, the one thing I was ever any good at… Apparently I haven’t learned my lesson, because now I’ve messed up again, and Xander has caught me. Little do I know that his way of dealing with my untruth will be to slowly torment me with his charisma, his charm, his ability to make me scream his name in bed. He will teach me everything about my body, and destroy everything I thought I knew about my mind and soul. Because as it turns out, the ultimate punishment for my crimes might just be losing Xander Bradford forever…
