But his good intentions in not getting involved with Hannah soon go by the wayside as the two are soon kissing…and doing much more.

Hannah is also here under false pretenses. She is a medical resident, but the real reason that she’s temporarily signed up for Brad’s team is that she wants to meet her father for the first time—Brad’s boss. Meanwhile, Brad is a tempting distraction as she continues to hang around her father, Rodney, getting to know him and figuring out the best time to approach him with the news.
