Description
Dr. Catherine Harrington is the epitome of clinical perfection. As a renowned cardiothoracic surgeon, she operates with icy precision, keeping her emotions as sterile as her operating room. She expects the same unwavering discipline from everyone around her, leaving no room for the messy, unpredictable nature of the heart—both on and off the table.
Enter Sloane Bennett, a vibrant, rule-breaking artist who thrives in chaos. When a charity gala brings them together, Sloane isn’t intimidated by Catherine’s formidable facade; if anything, she considers it a challenge. A playful dare leaves Catherine facing a choice: stay buried in her professional armor or step into the unfiltered light Sloane offers.
What starts as an antagonistic dance quickly spirals into a high-stakes romance defined by scorching chemistry and undeniable vulnerability. As the two women grow closer, the walls protecting Catherine’s carefully curated life begin to crumble. She is forced to confront the terrifying possibility that by protecting her career and legacy, she has been starving her own soul. In the quiet intensity of stolen moments, Catherine learns that the most dangerous risk she will ever take isn't in surgery—it’s handing her heart to the woman who can finally turn her heartbeats into art.
