    Summary

    She knows that the vision of Jack Abbot holding a baby in his arms shouldn’t tug at her heartstrings the way it does. It shouldn’t make her actually consider having a baby as a 3rd-year resident, especially when he refuses to tell her what he wants.

    But she can’t stop thinking about it. Can’t stop thinking about what he would look like holding a bottle. Can’t stop thinking about a child that is half-Samira and half-him. A baby with her hair and his nose. A baby with her eyes and his freckles. 

    They both know that this is a bad idea.

    Summary

    Santos turned back, but did not seem convinced. “What did I say to her? She let the intrusive thoughts win and kissed her mommy boss. On the mouth. I said she should get laid and go to electroshock therapy, and not necessarily in that order.”

    Cassie McKay wants to show Victoria what she’s been missing in the world. Turns out that Victoria might just want to learn more than she’s willing to teach.

    Summary

    Samira is 23 years old, a scholarship student at PTMC. She has her whole life planned out, and so far she’s been checking off every goal.

    Until she meets Jack Abbot. Not in a normal way. With lies. With both of them pretending to be someone they’re not.

    Jack Abbot, 43, night shift supervisor, wears a fake wedding ring. He has never been married and never been widowed—but the ring works like a magnet. It keeps expectations low. It keeps things simple.

    But one night is enough for something to go wrong. One of those situations with an 85% to 98% effectiveness rate.

    And somehow… they end up being the exception.

    Summary

    Samira Mohan can control a room, a crisis, a code. She can calm down a patient twice her size and keep her hands steady when everyone else’s are shaking.

    So she cannot understand how it happens. How a patient’s hand is suddenly somewhere it should never be, how his smirk makes her blood go cold, how she freezes instead of fighting.

    {A story about being completely torn apart and trying to put the pieces back together again. About losing parts of yourself but finding others. A story of love, resilience, and healing.}
