Summary: William 'Spike' Giles is a top-notch heart surgeon, even at 31 years of age.
He is still reeling, kind of, from the break-up with his selfish socialite fiance, Drusilla.
Spike comes to Sunnydale General in California to help build up the Cardiac ward and to find out the true workings of the human heart.
Elizabeth 'Buffy' Summers is a volunteer (a unique one) at Sunnydale G. She is still stung from her break-up with her fiance, Riley Finn.
Can Spike find out the truth about the human heart/soul? Can he show Buffy that true love does exist and that she should not run from it?
This will start as a PG rating and go NC-17 eventually.

It's probably past time to change this up a bit...the bits at the bottom (about SB and my pressies are going to stay because they still hold true), but how about some new info?
I know I haven't posted much of anything new for a good while now and that is because something stole my lovely muse and ran away with her...I called in some back-up and some secret agents though and I think I have a fix on her location finally so if things go right there should be some new things in the future.
(In other words: please don't give up on me because there are most certainly still Spuffy stories in my head just itching to come out...I'm not even going to count the files in my 'WIP' folder)

Whenever SB's sequel chapters are posted, I will send out an email through my yahoo group and also update the story's summary to indicate what has been added :)
I realised how hard it is to find some authors' emails, so I thought I'd give you mine if you wanted it: Suzeefic@gmail.com :)

Summary: New Summary: Buffy Summers-Travers leads the most charmed life. She's married to Angel Travers, a rich, successful lawyer in Sunnydale, CA.
Under all the lip gloss and manicures of Buffy, however, there lies an empty, unfulfilled woman.
She, Buffy, finds out, in a fluke incident, that her husband is betraying her, with a close friend. This leads Buffy to make some rather disturbing choices and decisions of revenge, that in turn, throws her in the path of a blond, ruthless (maybe?) man from her past, who's looking for a little revenge of his own.
