FORBIDDEN ROUNDS

She's an ambitious medical intern.
He's the brilliant but ruthless surgeon assigned to mentor her.
One rule stands between them: this can't happen.

Patrick is a world-class cardiac surgeon with a reputation as sharp as his scalpel—demanding, cold, and impossible to impress. After a devastating loss forces him to step away from the OR, he takes on a new role as a mentor at one of New York's most prestigious hospitals. His interns fear him. His colleagues respect him. And relationships? Completely off-limits.

Anna has worked her whole life for this moment—her medical internship. But her first day takes a disastrous turn when she's placed under the one mentor she dreads: Dr. Arrogance himself. Patrick's reputation for being cruel and unforgiving precedes him, and when she accidentally insults him before class even begins, he makes it clear—she doesn't belong on his team.

But fate has other plans.

When Patrick's young niece, Ruby, takes an unexpected liking to Anna, he finds himself needing her in ways he never anticipated. What starts as a reluctant arrangement turns into something dangerously electric. The tension between them is undeniable. The chemistry? Unstoppable.

They're forbidden to want this.
Forbidden to crave this.
But some rules? Are meant to be broken.
