Description
Giulietta Harrington has spent her entire life crafting a persona of cold, clinical perfection. As a brilliant surgeon, she is untouchable—a woman defined by the career she built in Rome, far from the toxic shadow of the Boston medical dynasty that rejected her. But when she returns to the city of her birth to confront the family secrets she’s long avoided, her carefully controlled world begins to unravel.
It starts with one reckless night with Ivy, a sharp-edged tattoo artist who thrives on autonomy and avoids emotional entanglements like the plague. For Ivy, sex is just a physical release, but the chemistry she shares with the elegant, icy Dr. Harrington is anything but casual. It’s an intoxicating clash of opposites that demands more, even as both women fight to keep their distance.
When their paths collide again in the high-stakes halls of Harrington Memorial, the friction becomes impossible to ignore. Giulietta must balance the grueling professional pursuit of proving her worth to an empire that never wanted her—all while navigating an addictive, dangerous attraction to the one woman capable of shattering her defenses. In this pulse-pounding tale of buried history and searing desire, the most hazardous risk isn't the truth; it's falling in love.
