Ben Orsini, head surgical nurse for world renowned plastic surgeon, F. Leigh Braxton, has been in love with his boss since he was hired onto the surgical team two years ago. It seemed like an impossible crush since the tall, gorgeous blond god had a live in love, Nixon Jones. When Nix is caught playing the field their relationship comes to a crashing halt. It's obvious to Ben and the others in the office that Nix has been along for the ride and whatever he could get. It's just taken Leigh a little time to figure it out. When Leigh decides to volunteer for a month on the Caribbean Compassion, a charity hospital ship, he asks Ben to go along. Ben has been on Dr. Leigh's radar for a while, too, and this seems like their opportunity to explore new possibilities. But Nix Jones has other ideas. He's not willing to give up his cushy, carefree life as the doctor's significant other and is determined to get back into Leigh's good graces. Can Ben and Leigh hold it together, or will outside forces tear them apart?
