Dr. Hardy had trained herself to be untouchable, until one nurse refused to look away.

Serenity (Renna) Lee is the best surgical nurse at Delmont University Hospital—meticulous, level-headed, and deeply dedicated to her patients. She’s also one confrontation away from walking off Dr. Hardy’s surgical team for good.

Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mel Hardy suffers no fools. She's learned the hard way that the world is a harsh place, and nowhere is there room for weakness or mistakes. She's brilliant and captivating, but also demanding, and as relentless with herself as she is with her team.

When a nerve-wracking case forces Hardy to rely on Renna’s expertise, the dynamic between them shifts—and suddenly, the boundary between respect and something far more dangerous begins to blur.

As the tension between them intensifies and they grow to better understand each other, both women must decide whether to keep their guard up—or risk everything by trusting each other.
