Raven: To seek, plunder, or prey. To devour ravenously. To seize as spoil. I am Raven. I knew what it meant to fight my way through life. To be the victim, the spoil, the prey. I decided long ago I would take control of my future. No more bug infested couches. No more drug-addicted mothers or absentee fathers. No more welfare checks or moldy bread. No more settling. I thought I had it all figured out, a way out of the hand I’d been dealt. Until my life got turned upside down by two very different men who look at me with mirrored lust in their eyes. Their want is palpable, heady. Their desire makes me reckless. I no longer know who I am or who I want. The only thing I do know is, I am ravenous. Voracious. Intensely eager for gratification or satisfaction. Despite the fact I know it is a disaster waiting to happen, I can’t stop it. I’m afraid I will never be sated.

Insatiable (adjective): having an insatiable appetite or desire for something, especially sex. I am Dr. Porter Kingsley. In my life, I am not easily satisfied. I have an uncontrollable need to have more. More sex, more success, more money, and definitely more control. The one thing I must control the most is commitment. I’m married to the job, and it’s a damn important one. Being the top neurosurgeon at the age of thirty is all the commitment I need. Because I’ve been down that other road before, and all it comes with is heartbreak. I’ve been relentless in my pursuit of excellence, and I give one hundred percent to everything I do. Then Dr. Kaya Hensley breezed her way into my hospital and tried to tell me what to do. She’s brash, bossy, ballsy, and beyond beautiful. But I won’t let that get to me, because she’s my competition. She’s everything I want in my bed, but not in my heart. No one puts Porter Kingsley on his heels. Kaya has different plans, but she has no idea. My desire to be number one cannot be quenched, no matter the consequences. I am insatiable.
