"The romance is sweet, the banter is sassy, and the chemistry sizzles off the page." --Flynn Novak, author of Puck You

Delilah Harper is embarking on her biggest challenge yet after completing four years of medical school. With a residency at one of the best hospitals in the country, she'll stop at nothing to achieve her dream of becoming a neurosurgeon. And that includes letting Bradly Gallow get the best of her.

Undeniably attractive, Bradly's also arrogant and, unfortunately for Delilah, extremely intelligent. Since day one of medical school, Delilah and Bradly have engaged in a heated battle to mark their territory as the top student, acing every exam, excelling at every lab-lock step in terms of their achievements. As fate would have it, they match at the same hospital, carrying their rivalry across the country.

While battling to be the hospital's top resident, the two begin the Brain Games--a competition in which they fight for the best cases and keep tabs to see who will finally get to assist during their first major surgery. The games seem simple enough, until a different sort of tension builds, and hidden feelings complicate their years-long rivalry. In this gripping and spicy medical drama, matters of the head and heart clash in ways that would bring even a neurosurgeon to their knees.
