Even when you know better, sometimes it's simply too tempting...

Becca Dillon has three interests: gossip, fun, and men. Not in that order, and not one at a time.

Years as a medical assistant in Rutherford's cardiac unit have taught her exactly how to end a dry spell without anybody catching feelings. So when the new orderly turns out to be all leather, tattoos, and maddening silence, Becca figures she knows precisely what this is.

She's wrong about most of it.

Vincent DeMarco isn't playing hard to get. He's on parole for grand larceny, so he's focusing on the job his parole officer found for him and has a list of rules he can't afford to break. He also disappears every Wednesday, and the story he tells about where he goes doesn't hold up.

Becca has never once in her life been able to leave a mystery alone.

So she's going to find out what he's hiding. And then she's going to have to decide whether she still wants the simple, no-strings fun she came for — or the complicated, terrifying, worth-it mess of the man she's actually falling for.

Bad boys don't make good boyfriends. Everyone knows that. Becca's about to find out what happens when one turns out to be so much more.
