A trauma nurse with something to prove. A military surgeon who's sworn off love. When life-and-death stakes collide, can two wounded hearts learn to heal each other?

Nurse Samantha Clark returns to Norfolk hoping to rebuild her life—and her confidence—by stepping into the fast-paced world of trauma care. But her first day isn't just chaotic—it's explosive. Literally.

Dr. Huxley Armstrong doesn't have time for distractions. Not interns. Not emotions. Definitely not the stubborn, sexy nurse who crashes into his OR and refuses to back down. He's got his eye on a promotion—and she's messing with his focus.

But when the sparks flying in surgery and heat up behind closed doors, boundaries blur. And with a deadly mystery surrounding a fiery crash, they'll need to trust each other more than either ever intended.
