Title: Healing Hearts
Plot:
After a decade-long separation, Chloe, now a sweet and mature nurse, is thrust into a high-stakes medical case in her hometown. Unbeknownst to her, the lead doctor on the case is none other than her high school rival, Ethan-a cold, distant, and incredibly focused surgeon with a mysterious past. Once, they were enemies in high school, constantly competing for everything from grades to popularity. However, Chloe's tender heart always stood in contrast to Ethan's sharp, aloof nature.
As they work together on life-threatening cases, old wounds resurface, and their emotional baggage from high school comes to light. Chloe's kindness and caring nature push Ethan out of his emotional shell, forcing him to confront his buried feelings and the trauma from their past that shaped him into the man he is today. Meanwhile, Chloe has to balance her growing feelings for him with her career and the haunting memories of their high school rivalry.
