Marissa Wyatt has survived medical school with coffee, sarcasm, and the rainbow of stickers plastered across her hospital badge. Now a 29-year-old ophthalmology resident at the prestigious Webber Eye Hospital, she's determined to prove herself. She's bubbly, brilliant, and relentless in the OR-even if she's still holding on to a secret no one would expect: she's never let anyone close enough to claim her first time.
Dr. Connor McKnerium has built his reputation on precision, brilliance, and a temperament that sends most residents running. At forty-five, he's the best attending on the floor-broody, exacting, and untouchably professional. His eyes are set on the Chief Attending position, and he has no intention of jeopardizing it with distractions. Especially not the wide-eyed, sharp-tongued resident who makes rounds a little too interesting.
The hospital has one rule drilled into every new resident: no fraternization with attendings.
She's not entertaining random hookups.
He's not looking for serious.
But when late-night call shifts turn into stolen glances, when sharp banter turns into heat, and when the line between mentorship and temptation begins to blur-rules start to look less like protection and more like a dare.
In the sterile halls of Webber Eye, desire is the one thing neither of them saw coming. And if they're not careful, it could cost them everything.
