Helena Santos has become an expert at almosts: almost relationships, almost feelings, almost letting people in. It's easier that way. Easier than explaining why she flinches at certain words. Easier than admitting that years later, she's still carrying pieces of a love that broke her. Then John Logan crashes into her carefully constructed life with his easy smile and relentless kindness. What was supposed to be temporary and messy fun becomes dangerous. Because Logan makes her laugh. Makes her feel safe. Makes her want. And wanting has always been the first step toward getting hurt. Caught between the comfort of running and the terror of staying, Helena must decide if she's willing to risk her heart on a boy who keeps asking her to dance when she's spent years sitting out the song. Sometimes healing isn't moving on. Sometimes it's letting someone meet you where you stopped.

Doctor Marina Chase doesn't do winter anymore. Not after a lifetime of brutal snow blizzards, not after the promise she made to herself. She built herself a life and a career on soft smiles, control, and impressive lightness. A life made out of the warm summer sunshine. She got hired as an attending emergency psychiatrist of Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, and was excited to start her new job. She just wasn't told she'd have to deal with emotionally constipated doctors. Among them, the infamous Dr Jack Abbot. Dry. Guarded. Doesn't look away when her sunshine flickers. As the cases and long shifts blur into sleepless nights and professional boundaries being broken, Marina finds herself entangled into a dangerous web: she's getting too attached to her work mates, and worse: Dr. Abbot. It was terrifying, because her new friends were started to see her little snow storms. And it was terrifyingly intimate because Abott didn't want her summer at all. He wants the winter. Written in short, episodic chapters that slowly weave together, "caught up in this web" is a tale about love, trauma, relapse, and the quiet danger of needing someone who might actually stay.
