Seattle trauma doctor Patrick Quinn has never been in love. In fact, he's never even had a long-term relationship. In his limited personal life, getting a date is only half the problem. Being able to keep it, despite emergency duties in the ER, is the other. So though he's interested in Trevor Oneil, a man he meets on a dating site, he decides to take it slow.

Trevor moved to Seattle looking for a fresh start. Recently single and lonely in his new city, he works business hours as an anesthesiologist, hoping a better work-life balance will make it easier to meet someone. Patrick might be just what he's been hoping for.

Then disaster hits and a severely injured Trevor lands in Patrick's ER. Unable to work on Trevor, Patrick feels helpless. He wanted to ease into a relationship, but he's already attached. Then Trevor's past comes rushing in to take him away from the dangers of Seattle. If Trevor and Patrick's new love is to survive the drama, Patrick will have to own up to what he wants—and fight for it.
