Isaac James "Zac" Javier has never mistaken desire for love. Zac is a respected pulmonologist with the face everyone wants and the heart no one can reach as he spent years shutting every woman out of his life. Not because he can't love, but because some wounds have a way of making even the gentlest touch feel like a threat. Then came the woman claimed the alias Gelatin. She wasn't supposed to be different. She wasn't supposed to become the exception. But is she truly the person capable of teaching him how to love again or merely someone his broken heart chose to hold on to?
