See moreThe new spicy and heartfelt romance from the viral TikTok author of the Vancouver Storm series, Stephanie Archer.
A medical resident spars with the hot, grumpy surgeon who makes her job hell, until their relationship heats up with a sexy arrangement—from the viral TikTok author of the Vancouver Storm series.
Dr. Linden Starling can get along with anyone—except Dr. Grant Cross, one of the most prominent paediatric plastic surgeons in the country. Linden detests him, his other residents are terrified of him, and his bedside manner sucks.
She wants nothing to do with him.
When Linden's desperate financial straits lead her to sign up as a high-end escort, Dr. Cross is the last person on her mind—until he becomes her first client and makes her an offer she can't refuse. The deal is simple: she sleeps with him, he pays her, and neither of them get feelings.
Grant Cross, it turns out, is nothing like she expected. The sex is beyond all expectation and surprisingly intimate. With his paediatric fellowship at risk due to his lack of interpersonal skills, Linden vows to teach Grant how to be more likeable. Grant is a notorious workaholic, and yet he's suddenly making time for her, reading the books she loves, and encouraging her to stand up for herself.
Their relationship is purely transactional, but Grant looks at Linden in a way that makes her think... maybe it's real after all.
