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.
