Description

📖 Paperback Edition — She’s the ice queen everyone fears. She’s the nurse who sees right through her.

Dr. Elena Vance has spent ten years building walls no one can breach. As the ER’s most brilliant—and most intimidating—physician, she’s laser-focused on one thing: becoming Medical Director. Relationships are a distraction she can’t afford. Emotions are a weakness she refuses to show.

Casey Rhodes is the sunshine to Elena’s storm. The nurse who makes everyone smile, who sees the vulnerable woman behind the professional mask, who’s been harboring a crush she knows will never go anywhere—because women like Elena Vance don’t fall for women like her.

Then a patient they both loved dies, and Elena does something completely out of character: she invites Casey to Miami. Just two colleagues escaping a hard week. Just one hotel room with one bed. Just a vacation that means nothing.

The rules are simple: No sleepovers. No feelings. No one finds out.

But Elena’s never been good at following rules she didn’t make. And Casey’s never been good at hiding how she feels.
