Synopsis

Being a doctor is Glover Israel's passion. He tends to his patients like they are his children and takes pride in providing excellent care. He doesn't have a good reputation among hospital staff, because he requires the same level of service from them toward his patients as well. Having to financially take care of his paraplegic father leaves little time for much of anything outside of work. The only things he can seem to find time for are carnal pleasures. He's not looking for a relationship or anything close to love. So, he makes his rounds through potential candidates at will . . . until he literally bumps into Delaney Boutté. Loving the wrong man can be hard to overcome emotionally. Delaney Boutté learns that lesson the hard way. When her relationship starts to fizzle and she finds out about her boyfriend's philandering ways, she chooses to get even. Doctor Glover Israel seems to be the perfect candidate, since he has the reputation of being the womanizer of St. Ambrose Memorial Hospital. She knows he's attracted to her, and physically, she's attracted to him too, but she knows her heart isn't ready for anything more than the carnal pleasures he's known for indulging in. Through their interactions at the hospital, the two quickly realize that there is more to their attraction than the physical aspect of it. Glover has nothing to lose by going for it, but Delaney feels her heart can't withstand any more disappointment or heartbreak. Can the man that has avoided his feelings for so long convince the woman of his dreams that he's ready for something real, or will she leave him to the proverbial streets from whence he came?
