Malam sebelum ulang tahunnya yang ke-18—hari terakhir sebelum nasibnya ditentukan—dia menemukan lukisan kuno yang terlarang di gudang lama Klan Lian. Saat darahnya menetes pada lukisan itu, tersegel sebuah roh kuno pria muncul: Xuan Nightblade, Kaisar Iblis terakhir yang ribuan tahun lalu diberangus para dewa. Terikat oleh kutukan, ia menempati tubuh Lian Yue sebagai wadah sementara. Keduanya berbagi napas, emosi, bahkan desir halus hasrat yang tidak pernah Lian Yue pahami sebelumnya. Ikatan itu membuat tubuh Lian Yue dipenuhi energi gelap yang kuat—kekuatan yang dianggap terlarang oleh sekte-sekte besar. Dengan kekuatan itu, Lian Yue selamat dari “Upacara Penentuan Nasib” dan malah menarik perhatian banyak pihak: – Sekte Bintang Surya yang ingin menjadikannya murid – Klan Lian yang takut rahasianya terbongkar – Dewa-dewa yang ingin menyegel Xuan Nightblade untuk kedua kalinya – Dan para bangsawan yang menginginkan Lian Yue sebagai selir kontrak karena auranya yang berubah menjadi menggoda Di sisi lain, Xuan Nightblade mulai menguasai lebih banyak tubuh Lian Yue: dia bisa muncul ketika Yue ketakutan, marah, atau… terguncang secara emosional.

Ketika mereka akhirnya menemukan catatan kuno tentang cara mematahkan kutukan, Lian Yue menyadari sesuatu yang menakutkan: Semakin kuat dia, semakin kuat pula keinginan Xuan untuk menjadi manusia kembali—dan mengambil tubuhnya sepenuhnya. Di tengah cinta terlarang, bahaya yang mengintai, dan rahasia masa lalu yang perlahan terungkap… Lian Yue harus memilih: Membebaskan Xuan Nightblade dan mempertaruhkan tubuh serta jiwanya— atau menghancurkan.

Mom, Dad, and Jesse—my younger sister—went out to sea on a trip, but they were caught in a tsunami, and all three perished in the accident. I was left all alone—just as I was about to start university—burdened with nothing but a mountain of debt. In the end, everything I had saved for my university tuition, along with the house Mom and Dad had left me, was taken by debt collectors. I was then forced to work in a shady factory, laboring 16 hours a day, sleeping in a shabby ten-person dorm, and surviving on nothing but thin, flavorless broth. I finally cleared the last of the debt when I accidentally discovered that Jesse—who was supposed to be dead—had appeared on television and become a famous dancer. Mom and Dad even gave an interview about her success. It turned out they had taken out a massive loan and faked their deaths to flee to Pravia for Jesse's dance studies, leaving the entire debt for me to deal with just as I was supposed to start university. I went to confront them, demanding the truth, but they threw me out like trash. I was then hit and killed by a speeding truck at the side of the road.

From New York Times bestselling author Krista Lakes, comes a sexy standalone novel about the baddest bad boy doctor and the sweet little nurse that he falls for. When I left my small hometown years ago, I never expected to come back. I certainly never expected that when I did, I'd be working for him. He's the town's doctor. He's supposed to be a respectable member of society, a pillar for the community. He's supposed to have come a long way from the bad boy who rode a motorcycle in high school. But he hasn't. One glance from those lustful eyes looking at me tells me that he has the same voracious appetites that he did when we were younger. Only it's not quite the same stare. It's more urgent. It's more intense. I'm not the same nerdy girl who tutored him. I've grown up, developed fertile curves that I know he finds irresistible. In this small town, rumors travel fast, and the family doctor can't be seen as a player. So he does try to resist. And I do too. But with every smoldering glance and moment of sexual tension, we find our barriers breaking down. After a stressful night of touch-and-go baby delivery, a moment of elation overcomes our inhibitions. It seems like maybe we'll need to confront those rumors sooner rather than later, especially before I begin to show the results of that night. Can I give this doctor the family he has always desired?
