From The Publisher:

He's her patient. She's his doctor. They shouldn't. But God, do they want to. Camden Harris, the famously hot, hulk of a footballer is laid up in a London hospital. But his busted knee doesn't stop him from running his well-practiced game on Indie Porter-his redheaded spitfire of a doctor. She's not his type, not even close. But she could be the perfect distraction from the soul-crushing damage this injury could cost him. Indie's tired of her naivety putting a target on her back. As a gifted child, she's let her education take the front seat her whole life. But a fling with a footballer like Camden might be just what she needs to grab life by the balls. And he could be the perfect guy for the plan she's been sitting on for over two years. But when feelings make a final play, there's no amount of medicine that can heal the damage to their hearts.

Cam was freaking awesome, but Indie was frustrating to me. Overall, though, I enjoyed it.
