First Love, Second Chance

My dad said the boy was trouble and I didn't listen.

Now, years after Aiden broke my heart, he suddenly reappears--everywhere.

He shows up in the strangest places. I can't seem to escape him. Worse still, I don't want to. Even if I still hate what the boy did. I'm afraid I'm falling all over again for the man he's become.


Ten years ago, I waited for my boyfriend all night at our usual place. He never showed up, not even when the diner closed and they shooed me outside to wait in the rain.


Trying to get over Aiden was more painful than a root canal and more difficult than my med school classes. But somehow I managed to put the shattered pieces of myself back together. One thing I still haven't done? Fall completely in love with another guy, the way I fell for Aiden. I'm sure I will, though... eventually.


Then, without any warning, Aiden starts showing up everywhere: at the mall parking lot, by the slot machines in the casino, and even at my sister's wedding rehearsal. Oh, we also happen to be new medical interns at the same hospital. Seriously, what is happening?


I mean, a part of me is still fuming over what happened in the past. But I can't deny I've always wanted to see Aiden again. He's looking good. Real good.


He used to be a tall, lanky kid. Now, he's a solid wall of muscles, with a smile that could melt hearts (and panties). Despite his humble beginnings, he's also a young doctor with a bright future ahead of him.


As our worlds collide, secrets come tumbling out. We learn the chilling truth: with every secret kiss we share, we're risking everything--our careers and our families.


I know I should stay away from Aiden. The stakes are too high. But what do I do when love keeps leading us back to each other, again and again?
