Pediatrician Macy Carter has been so busy expanding her practice sheâs had no time to build the family she craves. Her late, much-loved surrogate father apparently had some matchmaking in mind when he arranged for a sexy architect to take over his home and company. Too bad Derek is a single dad whoâs been there, done that, and intends to remain unattached. Their priorities are totally out of sync. Their chemistry? Unbelievably potent.

âIâm not crazy,â Derek said, as if reading her mind. âI just...â
He pulled her to his body and she swallowed hard at their closeness. His familiar scent washed over her like a loving caress, her self-control weakening. She might have thought about him all evening, but her thoughts hadnât taken this route. Never had he regarded her with such desire swimming in his eyes. His gaze held hers but quickly lowered to her lips. It was as if he was contemplating his next move. He lowered his mouth closer to hers, but then he pulled back slightly. She wanted to scream, Kiss me already! but instead she waited.
His large hands cupped the sides of her face and he mumbled something she couldnât understand. Before she could speak, he captured her lips in a searing kiss. Her thoughts jumbled inside her head. She didnât know what had gotten into him, but whatever it was, she was all in. He kissed her with a hunger that left no doubt they wanted the same thing. At the moment, she didnât care that he wasnât looking for anything long-term. All she knew was that she needed him, desired him right then and there.
After Legal Seduction, many of you contacted me asking if Irisâs sisters would get a story. Well, Iâm happy to sayâyes!
A Dose of Passion is Macy and Derekâs story. You remember Macy, right? Irisâs older foster sister, the doctor. Macy longs to fall in love and experience her happily-ever-after and Derek Logan is just the person to help her fulfill her dreams. He just doesnât know it yet.
If you have read my Jenkins Family Series, you might remember Derek. He was first introduced in book one of that seriesâCraigâs older brother. Derek is a single father and his main goal is to raise his son. Life doesnât always go as planned. Not only does he become a millionaire overnight, but he also falls in love when he least expects it.
I hope you enjoy A Dose of Passion.

Dear Reader
Macy Carter stood next to the hospital bed and stared down at the man who had been the only thing close to a father that sheâd ever had. The man who had been a pillar of strength during some of the most critical times of her life. The man who had beat cancer once, but was now living his last days.
She adjusted the crisp white linen covering him, smoothing out invisible wrinkles and not caring that he hated people fussing over him. Her gaze took in his once-smooth dark skin that now had a yellowish tint. Noah Price was the strongest man she knew, and seeing him like this was like looking at a stranger. So much had changed over the past few months.
A heaviness lodged in her chest and tears pricked the back of her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. Noah had made her promise that she wouldnât cry over him. As if she could actually keep that type of promise. She was trying. But what was she going to do without him?
