"You love me."
Frank's voice cracked around the words, and something inside me broke with it.
"I do!" The answer tore out of me before he'd even finished. I was crying harder now, furious that he could stand there and doubt the one thing I'd never made him question. "I love you. I fucking love you, Frank. I love you so much I feel sick right now."
His eyes filled as he stared at me. "Then stay."
"Love isn't the problem."
His jaw tightened, desperation bleeding back into anger. "Then what the fuck is?"
"You won't let me help you!"
Frank recoiled like I'd asked him to confess to something unforgivable. His answer came sharp, immediate, almost furious.
"I don't need help!"

Before they were doctors anyone trusted with a life, Frank Langdon and Dakota Bellerose learned how to trust each other with theirs.
They met as first-year residents at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center and fell hard somewhere between impossible shifts, shared coffee, and the kind of love that quietly became a home. Three years later, everyone at The Pitt knows them as inseparable. Frank is already thinking about forever.
Then Dakota discovers the one thing he never trusted her enough to tell her.
By the beginning of their fourth year, they're broken up, still desperately in love, and expected to work twelve-hour shifts side by side as though they haven't spent years memorizing every piece of each other.
Set throughout Seasons 1, 2, 3, and beyond of The Pitt, with flashbacks to Frank and Dakota's first and second years of residency, this is a second-chance romance about addiction, heartbreak, forgiveness, and two people discovering whether loving each other is enough to find their way home again.
