Dr. Lacey Bonds is a respected pediatric cardiologist, professional good girl, who has never been allowed to want anything for herself. She was taught that desire was shameful. On discovering infidelity, something long buried in her cracks open. Or maybe it finally wakes up.

Guided by her hedonistic, pansexual best friend, Lacey begins saying yes to her suppressed desires. Soon she's saying yes to everything. Every temptation. Every fantasy. Every dangerous impulse. As shame transforms into arousal and arousal spirals into obsession, Lacey's carefully ordered world starts to unravel under the weight of cravings she can no longer control.

This all changes when she finds herself falling for the formidable widowed billionaire father of her favorite little patient, a desire very much not allowed.

Gruff, powerful billionaire Derek Harrington has always intimidated her. A widower, former Special Forces officer, and head of the hospital board, he is the one man who looks at her like he's actually paying attention.

Behind the hardass exterior is a father raising his sick little girl Jessica on his own. And in Jessica's five-year-old eyes, Lacey is the answer to a question neither adult is ready to face.
