After surviving two unexpected heart attacks brought on by extreme stress and betrayal, attorney Debra Author is determined to rebuild her life. But starting over becomes a lot less terrifying when Dr. Kahana Hathaway, the calm, steady ER physician who helped save her life, keeps showing up exactly when she needs him most.
Kahana never expected to fall so hard, so fast. With a demanding medical career and a knack for carrying everyone else’s burdens, love was never something he made room for. But Debra’s resilience, humor, and vulnerability awaken something in him he didn’t realize was missing.
With an unstable relative threatening her inheritance, her career, and her peace, Debra must lean on the one man who refuses to let her fight alone. And Kahana will risk everything — including his heart — to protect the future they’re just beginning to imagine.
