The Bind

The rules were simple… following them just got complicated.

Colter
Doctor Richard Keeton is the closest thing to a father figure I have ever known. He single-handedly guided my medical career with plans to appoint me as Chief of Surgery upon his retirement. So when he asks for a favor, who am I to say no—even if that favor means sabotaging his own daughter’s surgical career.
It should have been easy. Mentor his young, entitled daughter through her residency. Put up with her spoiled demands and work her so hard she quits the field.
But I wasn’t prepared for Annaliese Keeton.
She’s not spoiled or entitled. She’s beautiful, snarky, and has a strength inside of her that brought new meaning to my life. She’s everything I thought I’d never find in a woman… and everything I know I can’t have.
Falling for her means betraying the only person I consider family. How can I choose between the man who gave me everything, who holds my professional future in the palm of his hand, and his daughter who now holds my heart?
