Must Love Lycans - A Broken Heart Novel

Informationen zum Autor Michele Bardsley is the New York Times bestselling author of the Broken Heart series. Klappentext A doctor finds a man who can't be tamed in the eighth Broken Heart novel from New York Times bestselling author Michele Bardsley. Since the moment he showed up-gloriously naked-I! Kelsey Morningstone! have been having a hard time keeping my relationship with the clinic's newest amnesiac patient strictly professional. Damian might not remember his past! but sweet mamma jamma! he sure knows how to push all my buttons. Even with my empath abilities I'm not sure I can get past Damian's anger to find the cause of his delusions. After all! falling for a patient is bad enough! but falling for a patient who thinks he's a werewolf is a whole other kind of crazy. Especially when said patient decides to mark me as his. Now! I'm feeling a little bit funny! and not just because Damian sets my hormones raging… Leseprobe Chapter 1 The man was naked. I pressed my palms against the reinforced steel door, already on my tippy toes, and peered through the small square window made of shatterproof glass. Beneath the window was a narrow slot that allowed sound to escape, which was the only way to speak to the patient inside. The setup was old-school, and a prime example of the many quirks at the Dante Clinic. He paced endlessly, emulating an animal in a cage. It bothered me how close the analogy was to the truth. However, the safety of the staff and the other patients took precedence over his comfort. How soon he got out was entirely up to him . . . and, well, me. I was still getting used to being in charge of the clinic. I’d been given control over an entire building and the people within it after I’d already proven—in public, no less—how incapable I was of controlling myself . So, yeah. Everyone here was screwed. Mr. Dante asked only that I did my best as the clinic’s administrator and full-time on-site therapist. I threw in the guarantee that I would never again square off with my famous mother on a national talk show. Uh-huh. That happened. It was fun, if my definition of fun was “humiliated and disgraced by psycho(therapist) parent in front of a live audience.” Did I mention the serial killer I’d let loose on Oklahoma City? Okay, not on purpose, but still totally my fault. What’s done is done , I reminded myself. Unless someone invented a time machine and a way to give me a personality transplant, I couldn’t change my past. I refocused my attention on the new patient. The poor guy didn’t even have a pair of boxers to cover his . . . um . . . I blanked as he made another turn and revealed his front. Yep. There it was. In all its glory. Sweet mamma jamma. His penis was huge, and it wasn’t even erect. Heat swept through me, along with a big heap of shame. Get a grip, Kelsey, you heartless slut. I was behaving unprofessionally—even though it was only mentally. Just because I hadn’t had sex in . . . er, ever, didn’t mean I had the right to entertain the idea of sleeping with a client. No matter how gorgeous. Or well endowed. For all my faults as a psychotherapist, I’d never had sex with a patient. (See, Mother? I could too be ethical.) No matter how badly I messed up last year, I still wanted to help as many people as I could. I might’ve chosen my profession out of duty (and maternal expectation), but I was committed to it all the same. Sometimes I dreamed about the other things I might’ve done with my life. I could’ve been a scuba diving instructor. Or a painter living in an artists’ colony. Or an alligator wrangler in Florida. Ah, well. Dreams were for people with choices (and who had mothers who didn’t begin every sentence with, “It’s your duty to . . . ”). I studied my new client. His thick black hair reached midback and swung like a...
