    Summary

    It takes a few excruciatingly long moments for Trinity to register the person who has scooped up the preschooler in his arms as Frank Langdon. As in: the senior resident that publicly humiliated her on her first day. The very same Frank Langdon that she reported for stealing drugs from patients. The beloved asshole of the Pitt whose life she ruined.

    What the fuck.

    When Trinity takes a part-time gymnastics coaching position, she certainly doesn’t expect one of her star students to share a last name with the senior resident she somehow managed to (sort of) fire a few months ago

    Summary

    Skylar Rielly is restarting her life. New state. New hospital. New specialty.

    Her journey in medicine has been a rocky one thus far, but she is finding a home in the Pitt. A trauma center where there's only one working speed—fast. Skylar quickly realizes that surviving the Pitt is the exact distraction she needs. There’s no time for falling apart when you have a dozen patients crashing one after another.

    Skylar is finding a new family amongst her co-workers in a welcoming environment where learning and honesty are nurtured by her kind and patient attending. For the first time in a long time she has the strength to move forward with her life. Leave her skeletons in the dark where they belong. But what she thought were healed scars turn out to be open wounds, and when wounds go untreated infection sets in.

    At the end of the day, Skylar has only three, simple goals:
    1. Become a good doctor for her patients.
    2. Don't drown in her past.
    3. Fight off her growing feelings for her stupidly handsome, attentive, and caring attending because she knows first hand this won't end well.

    Summary

    Sometimes, very late at night, lying only a wall away from one of his closest friends, he wonders what it would be like to tell someone. Maybe it’s finally time to let someone in on even the deepest parts of himself. He falls asleep to the idea, letting the concept play out in a way that isn’t as tragic as he expects it to be in reality. Disappointment engulfs him in the morning when he knows he won’t do it anyway.

    Summary

    Dennis thought it might just be one last pep talk, a little reassurance before Robby disappears off the face of the earth for the next three months. Instead, Robby said, and now repeats, “I need you to keep an eye on Dr. Abbot for me.”

    Dennis points a finger at his chest, eyes doubling in size. “Me? You want me to… why?”

    Or...

    After the Fourth of July shift from hell, Robby assigns Dennis one last task before leaving on sabbatical: keep an eye on Jack Abbot. What starts as a favour to Robby very quickly develops into an unlikely friendship between the night shift attending and PTMC's newest intern. But what happens when the pair both start catching feelings? Is Jack ready to move on from his late wife? Is Dennis prepared for what all a relationship with Jack would entail?

    Well, they have three months to figure it out.

    Summary

    Dennis was ten years old, and all he had ever known was Broken Bow, Nebraska until he had been shipped all the way to rural Pennsylvania to repent.

    Because Dennis had done something bad. Something really bad. And now he must earn forgiveness. But what wouldn't he do to see his Ma again? Just one time. To show her how hard he was trying.

    So he had jumped. Hoping that she would come if he was injured. Nothing too bad, just enough for her to come. But it had been too high. And now he was flying in a helicopter to the nearest hospital, scared for his life, and so very scared to end up in Hell.

    Unbeknownst to him, he was about to meet Dr. Robby. A tall man with hands that could heal. And perhaps, with his husband Jack, they could show him another path to life, one much kinder, one that showed Dennis what unconditional love was.

    The fingers on Dennis’ head were now gently brushing his misbehaving hair, and the hand on his own hand had been joined by another one, encasing it on both sides.

    His God was full of shit, Dennis decided. Because hands that loved like this couldn't belong to the damned. No, they were the hands of angels.
