A love worth waiting for
Vivian Clark never expected to find something-or someone-so captivating in the middle of a chaotic toddler meltdown. As a dedicated nurse in a hospital's baby unit and a single mom to a lively three-year-old, love has never been her priority. But when Siobhan Serpent, a sharp-witted and impeccably dressed nursery director, steps in to help, an unexpected spark ignites between them. Siobhan has spent years building walls around herself, shaped by past heartbreak and the pressure of keeping everything in perfect order. She never imagined that Viv, with her warmth, patience, and little boy who tugs at her guarded heart, would start to unravel the careful control she clings to. As their connection deepens, misunderstandings, jealousy, and old wounds threaten to pull them apart. But love has a way of finding cracks in even the strongest defenses. Can Viv and Siobhan navigate the ups and downs of trust and vulnerability to embrace the happiness they both deserve?
