I was just another case on Dr. Rodrique King's clipboard. Cold. Brilliant. Completely untouchable. He's the man every woman wants but none of us are supposed to touch. Especially not his patients. Especially not me. I came in with chest pain. But when he told me to take off my shirt, I saw more than medical interest in his eyes. When his hands slid over my skin, I stopped caring about rules. > "Breathe in," he said. Then he touched me like I belonged to him. Now I can't stop coming back. He says he's just doing his job. But the way he looks at me? He's already undone. > This isn't medicine. This is obsession. And I want him to ruin me. Neither of us is supposed to feel this. But the more he treats me, the more he breaks his own rules.

There's something about Jasper that pulls me in even as I want to escape. Maybe it's his piercing too-blue eyes that hide a lot of secrets. Or maybe it's his rock hard body that makes me forget that I am and should act like a princess. Whatever it is, I really should be careful. Because no matter how safe and protected he makes me feel, he is dangerous. And he is hiding something. And I really need to start being responsible. But then again... Where's the fun in that?
