The Doctor and The Billionaire, Book Three: Miscomputed

By J.M. Cagle

Sweet Medicine, Book Three: Miscomputed
Dr. Karen Carver is the daughter of a controlling man who is unhappy with her professional choices. In an attempt to force her back into his clutches, he offers her an ultimatum: come home or she will not have a part in the assets her mother intended for Karen to have. At the same time, Karen finds herself caught between the man she thought was interested in her and an investigation into wrong doings at the free clinic where she volunteers her time.

Karen engages a lawyer to handle her father, but steps away from the free clinic in an attempt to protect her heart from the lies and deception of its founder. However, when Benton Gregory lands on her doorstep and insists that the assertion by Dee Walton that he was her boyfriend was false. In fact, Benton was only with Dee in an attempt to find proof that she is the one who has been stealing from the free clinic.

Karen’s only experience with men is the overbearing ways of her father. At the same time she is trying to break free from his control, she finds herself increasingly drawn to a man who has the power to either make her happier than she ever imagined she could be, or destroy her so completely she would likely never recover.

Chapter 1

Karen Carver stood at the tall windows that ran along the back wall of the office. She could see downtown Dallas from here, even the shadowed area where the Gregory Free Clinic stood. She tried not to think about it, told herself it no longer mattered. But she knew it did. Despite the fact that she had fought her feelings for Benton Gregory from the first moment she set eyes on him, she knew that she cared about him. And that only made what he had done that much worse.

She wondered if Dee had guessed what prompted Karen’s resignation as a volunteer doctor at the clinic.

She closed her eyes and she could still see Dee walking up to the table where Karen sat in the middle of a five star restaurant with her father, hear her silky smooth voice describing Benton as her boyfriend. Karen had worked with Dee Walton at the clinic for several years and never heard her mention Benton more than a handful of times, and most of those in relation to the lack of funding Benton’s corporation provided for the clinic. Therefore, it was more than a shock to hear Dee refer to the same man Karen had shared her bed with just a short time before as her boyfriend.

What a fool she was.

I apologize for the delay, Dr. Carver.

Karen turned and tried on a polite smile, but it didn’t quite work. It’s no problem.

Wally Price, a lawyer with a firm with more reputation than a celebrity with a sex tape, walked toward her, a file folder in his hands. I put in a call to the attorney who handled the probate. He explained that the estate was probated within a few months of your mother’s death and Dr. Nathaniel Carver—your father, I presume?—was the executor.

Everything in her will was left to me.

Yes.

But I have yet to see anything from it.

Price frowned, the expression marring what was a classically handsome face. Do you know what happened with the assets mentioned in the will?

As far as I know, my father still has possession of them.

How old were you when your mother died?

Eight.

Price moved behind his desk and shuffled through a few papers that cluttered the
