Dr. Easton is part man, part myth. He's a formidable surgeon. Highly respected in his field. He also happens to be an ex-collegiate quarterback with a classically handsome face. Are you catching on yet? He's horrible. Beautiful. A walking Ralph Lauren ad. He's also so off-limits he should come with a warning label: This way lies heartache. Not only is he an attending at the hospital where I'm training, he's also my brother's best friend. If you've lost count, that's two reasons why I plan on putting this ridiculous crush behind me. Besides, it's definitely not mutual. Dr. Easton has never once paid me special attention. No tempting smirks. Not even one subtle innuendo. To him, I'm just another resident - all but invisible. Connor For the last five years, I've mentored Natalie in the OR, stayed in line, and kept my hands to myself, but it's been agonizing. Natalie is trouble in scrubs. A walking temptation I've been forced to ignore. For so long, I've wanted her in silence. By the time fate finally throws me a bone, my patience has run out. Natalie's brother is leaving town, and he wants me to watch over her while he's gone. He has no idea how I feel about her. Neither does she. But she will. Haven't you heard good things come to those who wait, Natalie? Well...I've done my waiting.
