SCRUBS & SPARKS SERIES #1 Setiannie Alessia Ravena has always believed in hope. In the ER, where everything moves fast and nothing is guaranteed, she tries to be the kind of person who keeps others steady. She's warm, hardworking, and a little stubborn, something her patients actually love about her. But when she starts her internship at San Lorenzo Medical Institute, she gets assigned to the one doctor she wished she wouldn't meet this early: Dr. Connor Iver Moreno. Dr. Connor Iver Moreno is brilliant, strict, and completely closed off. People respect him, fear him, or avoid him, but sometimes all at once. Connor came back to Manila carrying a quiet shame he refuses to talk about, and he's convinced that the safest way to work is to keep everyone at a distance. But then, Setiannie enters his life like this unexpected sunlight he didn't ask for. She's too kind, too bright, too hopeful, and for Connor, that makes her a risk. A risk to his routine, his rules, and the walls he's spent years building.

As we go through life, we meet people who deeply touch our hearts and change us in meaningful ways. They leave lasting marks on our souls, transforming who we are. The footprints they leave behind guide us towards growth, ensuring we can never retrace our steps to the person we once were. And then, there was him. We found each other at the precise moment when our souls were ready to collide. Love enveloped us, and in his arms, I discovered a deep sense of belonging. Everything felt right, as if the universe had conspired to bring us together. But life has a way of unraveling even the most beautiful stories. In a cruel twist of fate, the ground beneath us began to crumble. The very thing that had given us hope and joy now carried the weight of our lives, feelings, and emotions, threatening to snatch them all away. The perfect illusion shattered, leaving behind broken fragments of what once was. He is the one who taught me how to love. But as I stand here engulfed in his absence, I realize he forgot to teach me the most crucial lesson of all-how to let go. The pain of holding onto his memory is unbearable, yet I would endure it all, for it's a bittersweet reminder of the love we shared. I'd trade my everything for just one more moment with him, for even a fleeting moment holds more joy than a lifetime without knowing him. ❁❁❁ This is Book 3 of my Botanical Novel Series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone book.
