When Dr. Alexandra Edison's world was ripped apart, the last thing she expected was to end up in a casual affair with Blake Westmore. Soon after, she was forced to choose between her past and her present when her strong sense of obligation forced her to leave the woman with whom she shared one of the most unforgettable experiences and head back to L.A. to help the woman who broke her heart.
