Re-release: Love M.D. by Rebecca Rohman
As an accomplished interior designer in
San Francisco’s Bay Area, Zoë Jenkins is used to transforming
empty spaces into masterpieces. She leaves little square footage in
her personal life for anything outside of her thriving business and a
renewed relationship with her twin brother. After a decade spent
ripped apart by circumstance and an entire ocean’s distance, she
depends on no one but him. Until a sexy surgeon walks into her life.
Although Zoë can’t deny her
attraction to the charming and benevolent Morgan Drake, he’s on her
mental list of everything she should avoid. Past experience taught
Zoë that dating clients compromises business. Add a
not-yet-dissolved marriage to the mix and Doctor Hottie is definitely
Doctor Off-limits.
Dr. Morgan Drake is surprised at the
undeniable chemistry he feels when he’s in the same room as Zoë.
The strikingly beautiful and solitary designer he hired to fill his
new-start, new-city home makes it abundantly clear there will never
be anything between them. But twelve years of medical school breeds
persistence. He sets out to persuade the pants off Zoë Jenkins and
show her what her empty spaces are missing.
Intense passion and amazing sex have a
way of masking secrets—secrets that unravel a dangerous web of
fraud, corruption and conspiracy that turn Zoë’s quiet spaces into
a world where nothing is as it seems. With her life on the line, the
good doctor responsible for her fiercest betrayal might just be the
only one worthy of her finest interior masterpiece—this time, of
her heart.

Discussing Dr. Morgan Drake
Zach pulls me close and kisses my
forehead. “Zoë, if anyone knows how you feel it’s me. Just try.
Maybe go on a date with Doctor You Know Who. If I deserve this, you
do, too. You’re the better half of us.”
I chuckle at his response, and after a
tight squeeze, I pull away. “Somehow I don’t think so. For all I
know, he and his ex might be rekindling the flame right now.”
“I don’t think so. A guy doesn’t
go all out trying to impress a woman unless he’s seriously
interested, and I think he’s made his feelings pretty clear. If I
usually get what I want isn’t clear, I don’t know what is.”
“Maybe what he really wants is a
quick lay.”
“A quick lay doesn’t send you long
stem roses and gifts. Is this about him or you?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking
about.”
“Is that right? I think you know how
he feels. As usual, I think you’re avoiding acknowledging this
because you like him—a lot. You don’t want to get hurt again, so
you won’t admit how you really feel.”
Laughing carelessly, I reply, “I
emphatically disagree with that statement.”
“You can emphatically disagree all
you want, but it’s the truth.”
At the same moment, Peaches runs into
the kitchen with something in her mouth.
“What’s that you’ve got there
girl?” Zach asks, scratching her ears.
I turn my back to pull some quiche from
the oven.
“Zoë Baylee Jenkins, what is this?”
I turn to see him holding a Ralph
Lauren sock in his hand. I know that could only belong to Morgan. I
guess I forgot to mention to him that he should be careful about
leaving socks around when he was here. Peaches has a sock fetish.
“Are you blind? It’s a sock.”
“Yes, but whose is it?”
“I don’t know. She must have found
that somewhere outside.”
Inspecting it, he responds. “You are
such a liar. He was here wasn’t he? You’ve been holding out on
me.”
I try with all my might to not break
out into a smile and keep my secret safe. “Maybe.”
“Hmmm… getting regular injections
yet?”
I try, I really do but I can’t keep a
straight face, and I break out in laughter. “It wasn’t like
that.”
“Exactly how was it?”
“He came home early and the guys had
just refinished the floors so he couldn’t stay at the house. We
tried to find him a hotel, but they were all booked for the weekend
because of some major conference, and his sister and dad were out of
town for the weekend. I offered him a bed for the night.”
“Your bed?”
“No. He slept in the guest room,
thank you very much.”
“You didn’t sleep too well that
night, did you?” With a naughty grin, he rubs his palms together.
“Any kissy kissy?”
“There was not.”
“Why don’t you just admit it? You
like him.”
I smile but don’t respond.
“You barely even give out your
address, much less let anyone come to your home. Let’s see in two
years who’s been here: Jada, Jonathan, Megan, Sheila, Lisa, Leo and
Trevor… oh and Gail and, might I add, out of all those five are our
staff members. Out of the two or three guys you had relations with
after Todd, not one of them made it to your doorstep, and I’m
supposed to believe that this is not a big deal.”
“You’re entitled to your thoughts
and opinions.”
“Say whatever you want, but I know
you better than you know yourself. Better stock up on those
batteries, because if nothing happened between you two, as you
claimed last night, you’re going to need them.”
