After a messy and painful divorce from her ex-husband, Madeline decided to shift her focus entirely to her career. Her passion for medicine and her patients became her primary motivation-until she crossed paths with a blue-eyed detective who disrupted her carefully built walls.
Jay has always had bad luck with love and eventually stopped searching for it altogether. Growing up, he tended to push people away, especially women, fearing vulnerability. After his relationship with Erin ended, Jay closed himself off even further, choosing to focus solely on his career. Love seemed like a distraction he didn't need-until he met a certain doctor with captivating brown-green eyes.

This book is finished, but it sucks (*cringe*, I didn't know what I was doing when I started writing it), and it will be majorly edited as soon as I get the time. Until then, read at your own risk, lol. The sequel 'remorse' is out now, too... All rights reserved, have fun reading! I'd love to hear your opinions, so please comment or vote if you like...
