Liya Belmont never wanted to be a patient.
Fear of doctors, needles, and anything medical has ruled her life for as long as she can remember.
But when her health takes a dangerous turn, she's forced into a hospital bed-with no choice but to face everything she's spent years avoiding.
Enter Luke rhodes: her best friend, her roommate... and a final-year dental student who knows her better than anyone. Fiercely loyal, steady, and quietly dominant, Luke refuses to let her suffer in silence. As Liya spirals between fear, shame, and resistance, Luke becomes the one person she can lean on-whether she wants to or not.
What begins as a battle for her health becomes a slow, tender unraveling of trust, vulnerability, and something much deeper. With every hard conversation, every midnight scare, and every shaky moment where she lets herself need him, the bond between them grows into something undeniable.
But Liya's journey is far from linear. There are relapses. Setbacks. A runaway attempt. And through it all, Luke stays at her side-not just as a caregiver, but as something more.
A story of fear and healing, submission and strength, and a love that grows where it hurts most.
