The Obsessed — Gertrude Schweitzer

He was tall, rangy and muscular

He was not by any standards a handsome man, yet in his narrow, almost aristocratic face was a look of amused worldliness that instantly attracted women. He was a famous surgeon with an almost godlike reputation. And he was very self-assured -- he had always gotten what he wanted.

Until he met Carla, who was a doctor, too…who seemed very unimpressed by that amused worldliness, would could say no to him as easily as others said yes.
