Former Army Major Calvin Hollaway is the perfect guy. He has great morals, a great body, and great heart. He meets Dr. Ava Karcher, a first-generation German American and lead surgeon at the Mayo Clinic. To her, he's a Black Adonis, and to him, she's a blonde bombshell. When Calvin decides to stop grieving and love Ava with everything he has, she is more than willing to receive every morsel. Problem is, she is married to a man who is no stranger to murder. So when he catches them in the middle of playing the grown up game of give and take, somebody gets hurt and hurt badly.
