A SLOW BURN MEDICAL LESBIAN ROMANCE OF LOSS, HEALING AND SECOND CHANCES.
She closed her heart eight years ago. Falling in love again was never part of the plan.
Dr Meredith Asquith is one of the most brilliant neurosurgeons at City General Hospital, and one of the most untouchable. Known for her precision in theatre and her ice-cold demeanour outside it, she keeps everyone at a distance. After losing her wife and daughter in a devastating car accident, Meredith has built her life on control, discipline, and emotional walls no one can break.
Until Emily Porter arrives.
Tasked with auditing the hospital, psychologist Emily Porter sees straight through Meredith's defences to the grief she hides beneath. What begins as professional tension quickly turns into something far more dangerous, a slow burn attraction neither woman is prepared for.
Emily's warmth challenges everything Meredith has tried to bury. And for the first time in years, Meredith begins to feel something she thought she had lost forever.
Then Emily leaves.
Just as Meredith allows herself to hope again, she is forced to confront the possibility that some losses can never be undone. Until fate intervenes in the most unexpected way.
Reunited halfway across the world in a war-torn country while volunteering with Doctors Beyond Borders, Meredith and Emily are thrown together in a place where nothing is certain and every moment matters. Surrounded by crisis, danger, and the fragility of life, they must face the truth of what they feel and decide whether love is worth risking everything for.
