I might be known for having the best hands in surgery, but when it comes to matters of the heart... I'm a dead shot.

We endured years of abuse at the hands of my father—until I snapped. The moment I pulled the trigger, freeing my brothers and me from his wrath, my heart turned to stone.

Desperate to atone for the sins of my father, I became a doctor. With my brother Drake's help, and his company Angel's Wings, we've helped hundreds of women escape abusive relationships. It's my way of saving them... since I couldn't protect my own mother.

Over the years, I've seen my share of bad cases come through the ER, but one will have me risking my career. And when danger rears its ugly head, threatening to take what's mine, being a doctor isn't the only thing I'll put on the line.

I've sworn an oath to protect life... but with my heart at stake, I'll take one if it means saving hers.
