    Summary

    "You're playing doctor in a barn, Kent."

    The humor left Clark’s face. It simply vanished, replaced by a cold, hard stillness that made his massive frame look less like a friendly farm boy and more like a cliff face. "I know exactly what we don't have, Dr. Lane," he said, his voice dropping into a register that made the wooden counter under Lois’s hands vibrate slightly. "I know we don't have a blood bank. I know we don't have a CT scanner. And I know that if someone has an aortic rupture on Main Street, they die before the helicopter can get off the pad in Wichita. That’s why we spend ten minutes talking to the patients. Because out here, prevention is the only thing keeping them alive."

    Banished to a rural outreach clinic after a professional blowout in Metropolis, trauma surgeon Lois Lane expects three months of pure boredom. Instead, she gets thrown into a world of tight spaces, midnight shifts and a human Clark Kent who is entirely too good at his job. Also entirely too distracting in a shared on-call room.
