After a painful fallout with Dr. Gregory House-one she never talks about and everyone else pretends not to notice, Dr. Lenora Rhodes builds a life in Pathology, away from the chaos and manipulation. But life at Princeton-Plainsboro isn't done with her. Especially not Dr. James Wilson, whose calm presence and soft humor start to feel dangerously close to home. As old wounds resurface and loyalties are tested, Lenora finds herself caught between the past that made her and the truth she refuses to bury, even when it hurts.

While falling in love with a drug kingpin, Tikera must prove she can survive in his dangerous world - and convince him their relationship is worth fighting for. ***** After dropping out of university and setting her sights on traveling to Europe, twenty-three-year-old Tikera Copeland is desperate for a job. So when she innocently applies for a gardening position and immediately gets hired, she's shocked to discover that her "real" job will be tending to a bunker full of thriving, (definitely) illegal weed plants. Intrigued by this world she knows nothing about, Tikera agrees to stay, but her growing feelings for "The Boss" -- the mysterious drug kingpin who owns and grows the plants -- quickly complicate things. He's falling for her too (and she knows it, even if he won't admit it), but breaking through his icy exterior won't be easy. And with thieves, vengeful hitmen, and rival kingpins threatening them at every turn, will they even survive long enough to find their happily ever after? [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]
