Saving Hearts Series by Stacy Sterling

Yesterday I passed out in the supply closet and the head surgeon found me. In six months, he's never looked at me once, I'm just another nurse. I've been skipping meals and picking up extra shifts to pay off my mom's medical bills, but I haven't told anyone.

In six months, he's never looked at me once, I'm just another nurse. I've been skipping meals and picking up extra shifts to pay off my mom's medical bills, but I haven't told anyone.

I woke up in a hospital gown with him standing over me, his fingers pressed against my wrist as he carefully watched the monitor.

Five years ago, I chose my career over my marriage. I took a fellowship overseas. Signed the divorce papers. And I told myself it was the right thing to do. That Cassian and I wanted different things, that love wasn't enough to make us work. But I was lying to myself. Now I'm back at Obsidian Hospital, ready for a fresh start. There's just one problem: my ex-husband never left. He's now a respected surgeon. He’s leading the trauma team. And he's living with someone else... moreFive years ago, I chose my career over my marriage. I took a fellowship overseas. Signed the divorce papers. And I told myself it was the right thing to do. That Cassian and I wanted different things, that love wasn't enough to make us work. But I was lying to myself. Now I'm back at Obsidian Hospital, ready for a fresh start. There's just one problem: my ex-husband never left. He's now a respected surgeon. He’s leading the trauma team. And he's living with someone else. We were assigned to co-lead a critical protocol together. Professional. Cordial. Distant. But in the OR, our bodies remember what our minds tried to forget. We still move in sync. We still read each other without words. The connection never died, we just buried it. Then a mass casualty event strands us at a district hospital and there’s only one hotel room left, with one bed. We tell ourselves we can handle it. And fall asleep on opposite sides…. But in the morning, we wake up in each other's arms. less

I had a three-day fling with a stranger almost twice my age at a wedding, thinking I would never see him again…. When it ended, I flew home believing some things are better left as beautiful memories. Days later, I started my dream job at one of the best cardiac units in the country. When my new boss walked in, I froze…. Dr. August Graves. The stranger from the wedding. He’s a billionaire surgeon who built an empire after his wife left him for his best friend. I'm the new junior nurse... moreI had a three-day fling with a stranger almost twice my age at a wedding, thinking I would never see him again….
