Who could build a life on such a monumental mistake?Jackson Murphy: family prankster, class clown… and now, smack in the middle of a Vegas-sized mess.

To a complete stranger!

Now? Now he has no idea what to do.Mackenzie Murphy: independent woman and excellent student—but not a med student. Because those pesky MCATs were H-A-R-D.
