From the back cover

Maya Chen's aching lower left molar finally forces her into a dental chair, and the dentist who greets her is none other than her ex-boyfriend, Dr. Leo Carter. He delivers the verdict without warmth: the decay has reached the pulp, and she needs a root canal followed by a crown costing thirty-five hundred dollars, a sum her insurance will not cover. When she asks if there is any way to make it cheaper, Leo arches an eyebrow and says it is free for family.

The words land on old wounds. Leo was the untouchable king of their dental school, and Maya spent a year chasing him before they became a couple. Once together, he was passionate but silent, a vault she could never open, and their unspoken problems festered until the night she ended things. He accepted the breakup with a single word, leaving her the apartment and traces of himself in every corner.

Now, with her best friend Jenna's hired model Kaden hovering at her side, Maya must endure the procedure under Leo's cool gaze and decide whether his offer means what she hopes it does.

How could the same mouth I had once kissed so passionately utter something so clinically cold?
