Lila Quinn has already survived the unthinkable. A Marine field medic turned surgical intern, she's traded the desert's chaos for the sterile corridors of Seattle Grace. Her scars run deeper than the ones on her skin - the kind that no scalpel can reach. The war taught her to triage under fire; medicine taught her how to rebuild what's broken. But love - and loss - will teach her that some wounds can't be sutured. Haunted by a past she can't forget and a man she can't quite let go of, Lila must learn what it really means to heal - not just her patients, but herself.
