  About This Book

  I am good with my hands. As a world-renowned surgeon, I have to be, but there's also a line of women willing to testify to my other skills. But I'm at a point in my life where I feel an emptiness. I'm missing something—someone...

  That's when I "meet" Anna on a dating app.

  She's young, confident, and sexy as hell. The more we talk online, the more I'm drawn to her. And there's nothing stopping me from taking her to my bed, not even when I find out she works at the same hospital.

  My forbidden relationship with Anna is nothing short of exciting. She makes me feel alive.

  When our illicit relationship is found out, I had to walk away—or risk my career.

  But seeing her with another man strikes a fire in me I'd never felt before. How long will I be able to refrain from taking what's mine?

  Naughty Prescription is a steamy insta-love standalone, full-length doctor romance novel.

  HEA. No cliffhangers.

  This e-book is intended for mature audiences only. It contains graphic adult language and explicit sexuality. This e-book is not intended for readers under the age of 18. Reader discretion is advised.

  Anna

  We were doing it! We were moving across the country to start an adventure. We were leaving North Carolina behind and heading for the sunny California, Los Angeles more specifically. My best friend Brooke and I were doing it together. I didn't spend too much time growing up fostering friendships; I always had my nose in a book exceeding all expectations set on me by myself and my family. It wasn't until I later met Brooke that I realized I was missing out. Where I always had my nose in a book studying, Brooke was always embracing life to the fullest doing something unexpected. We were complete opposites, but it worked for us. We pushed each other to be better versions of ourselves.

  Brooke has bright blue eyes, dark brown hair, and olive skin. She's originally from New York and still has the accent to prove it. Brooke can be rude and emotional. She had a good amount of sexual experience from college. She liked to smoke weed and party. In comparison, I have blonde hair, brown eyes, and tan skin. I'm originally from Georgia but don't have much of an accent. I didn't have any sexual experience at all.

  We were both named after cities we were bor
n in; Brooke was named after Brooklyn, my name is Anna, short for Savannah. Regardless of our differences, we were both extremely confident and strong women. We had both been through enough to give us a backbone. I was confident that we were going to make everything work in LA. We were both tough enough to bypass any type of controversy we came across. Nothing could stand in our way. We packed my car with as much of our belongings as possible and headed out west. I had a really great feeling about everything; it seemed like I was finally doing what I really wanted. I was excited to have someone as fun as Brooke with me. There wasn't a doubt in my mind that I was making the right decision.

  Brooke and I exchanged stories the entire way to California. We talked about what it would be like to live there, how exciting it would be to go to the beach in our free time. We both wanted to learn how to surf, go to movie screenings, walk down Santa Monica pier, and all of the other exciting things LA had to offer that North Carolina didn't. Brooke was looking forward to all of the handsome men in California. She was a serial dater and was far from settling down. Brooke was the type of girl to have a different guy texting her good morning each week. I, on the other hand, was hoping I could maybe get my first kiss.

  There was a long time that I looked forward to getting my first kiss. It's not that I'm socially awkward or unattractive. I've always had a petite frame with voluptuous breasts and high cheek bones. I'm sure plenty of guys would have been happy to kiss me, it just never happened. When I was a preteen, I used to watch every romantic comedy I could find. I wanted to know what it was like to fall in love and have a great connection with someone early on. That way, by the time I actually started dating, I would be ready. For a while, I was obsessed with love. I would see my parents together and dream about the day when I could find someone that made me smile the way I saw them look at each other.

  When I was 14, my parents got divorced; it completely shattered my world. I had so many high hopes for romance because of the love I saw between them. My Mom got custody of me, my Dad took a job in Tennessee, and then my Mom moved us to North Carolina to be closer to her family. I hated having to split my time between them. I would go to school in North Carolina and spend the summers in Tennessee with my Dad. It completely destroyed my perspective of love, marriage, and companionship. Love wasn't something I aspired to find anymore. I focused my attention on school and books. Whenever a boy asked me out, I would quickly decline without even considering it as an option.

  If I were to psychologically analyze myself, I would I probably say I became a nurse because I was seeking the stability I lost after my parents' divorce. I didn't even consider my lack of interest in relationships and love as unusual until I graduated college. Suddenly it seemed like everyone around me was in a relationship or even getting engaged. I started to consider dating other nurses, but my nursing program was filled with mostly women. I needed to branch out to other places to find men. Brooke was more than happy to help.

  We had arranged to stay at Brooke's cousin's house in California. We figured we would job search and move into an apartment as soon as possible. We quickly found out that LA wasn't as glamorous as Hollywood depicts in the movies. It was a fast-paced, cutthroat city. It wasn't the type of city that welcomes newcomers with open arms. You have to prove yourself and show you're willing to work hard in order to keep up with the fast life. I thought it would be simple to find a job as a nurse, but I found out how hard it is to stand out in a city with 3.8 million other people. Three weeks later, Brooke and I still had no job prospects, no place to live, hadn't made any friends and were draining our savings accounts.

  When I was finally offered a job at Gladstone Hospital, I knew we were going to make it in LA. Everything started to flow smoothly. I had a week before my training began. Within that week, Brooke got a job as an apparel graphic designer, and we moved into a small two-bedroom apartment in Silverlake.

  A couple of days before I started my new job at the hospital, Brooke announced that she was going on a date. I was shocked. We hadn't even gone out of the house that often, how could she have found someone to go on a date with already? I hadn't even seen a single person I'd consider prospective boyfriend material. Brooke made finding a date look easier than finding a fast food restaurant.

  "Where did you meet him?" I asked.

  "We met online," Brooke said casually.

  My eyes widened. "Online? Are you serious? Brooke, that's really dangerous. You don't know if he's being honest about who he says he is. You could be talking to some forty-year-old man for all you know."

  Brooke laughed and sat down next to me with a bowl of instant ramen noodles, our meal of choice on a limited budget. "We've been Snap chatting and Face Timing, so I already know what he looks like. It's not creepy as long as you're careful, meet up in public, and let someone know where you are. You should try it. It's a great way to meet people."

  "What? Me? No way, there's no way I would ever try that. I mean it's online dating," I said, wrinkling my nose.

  "It's not as taboo as it used to be. Everyone is doing it these days. Besides, what do you have to lose? It's not like you're going to see someone you know on there. Even if you did, who cares?" Brooke said confidently. "This would be a great way to find your first boyfriend."

  "What do I have to lose? Not much other than my life and all of my possessions. They could be a serial killer or some type of criminal! Have you seen that show Catfish on MTV? It's about people meeting up with someone they have been talking to online for a while. In almost every single episode the person turns out to be someone different than who they say they are. There is absolutely no way I would ever meet up with someone from the internet. It doesn't seem like you can start an honest, meaningful connection with someone that you meet online. Even if you do make a connection, when you go to meet them they are still going to feel like a stranger, and they could still have been lying about everything they said. I wouldn't want to waste my time talking to someone for days, or even weeks, just to be disappointed when I go to meet up with them. I would much rather try to meet someone the organic way," I reaffirmed my beliefs, but Brooke was smiling the whole time. She put her hand in front of her mouth to try to hide her snickers. "What? What are you laughing at? I'm serious; this sounds really dangerous!"

  "I know you're serious, that's why it is so funny. You sound so paranoid Anna, have a little faith! Half of those people from the internet are harmless. You should be more worried about having a boring conversation or your cell phone being overloaded with useless messages—those are more realistic problems that come along with online dating. The people that go on Catfish have been talking online for months, sometimes even years, so just don't keep talking to someone if they don't seem interested in meeting up. That's why it's good to get their social media names so you can have an idea of what their life looks like before you become a part of it. Almost everyone has an Instagram or Facebook these days. As long as you have an idea of who they are, and as long as you meet up in a public place, you don't have anything to worry about. Online dating is a great way to get to know someone you would never have met in the first place. It's hard to meet people in real life these days. I think you'd really be missing out if you were not willing to give it a chance. What do you think?" Brooke smiled and bit her lip, trying to contain her excitement. She was sitting on the edge of her seat, leaning forward, waiting for my answer. "We're in California now! Have some fun! Do something crazy! Try something that you would have never done before in North Carolina. I'm not trying to push you to do something that you're uncomfortable with; I just want to encourage you to be open to the adventure. Maybe you'd be surprised that online dating isn't really as bad as some people make it seem."

  "I don't know; I guess I still feel like I'm settling into our new lives. We just got a new home, new jobs; everything is different. I don't know if this is a good time. Maybe it would be better to wait a few months to try something else new. Maybe there are enough new things going on right now; I don't know
..." I was starting to run out of reasons. Brooke made a lot of good points, but I wasn't sure if it felt right.

  "What are you waiting for? What would have to happen for you to feel like it's the right time?"

  "I don't know. I guess nothing would have to happen necessarily; I would just want it to feel more comfortable..." I had just said one of my least favorite words: comfortable. Comfort is the one thing that everyone searches for but the one thing that will stunt your growth as an individual. If life ends at the end of your comfort zone, then I need to stop worrying and start living. After all, that is what I came to California to do. "You know what, you've changed my mind. I'm going to try it. I'm going to get an account right now."

  "Yay! Anna! That's awesome; we're going to have so much fun dating together! You're going to find the sexiest man ever, I just know it!" Brooke exclaimed.

  "It's a little intimidating, but I'm willing to give it a try," I let out a sigh, what was I getting myself into?

  "You have nothing to worry about because you have nothing to lose. You're going to have a blast. Window shop away!" Brooke joked. Her eyes darted to her phone when it began to ring, displaying the name "Patrick Online." "Oh, that's my date! Hold on, let me see why he's calling."

  Brooke answered the phone call and went to her room. She sounded excited and nervous at the same time. I listened to the muffled sounds coming from her room as I tried to refocus my thoughts on the fact that I had just agreed to start online dating. I reminded myself that Brooke was right, I had nothing to lose. I had already found a job and a place to live online, why not try to find a man online too.
