Survival Is Not the Same as Living || Daerin.

Haerin is a rising star in extreme sports-famous for defying death with every stunt, and living for the rush of the crowd's applause. But one woman, Danielle Marsh, a trauma surgeon, isn't impressed. She's seen too many thrill-seekers like Haerin end up on her operating table, and she's not afraid to say it.

Haerin can't stand Danielle's cool detachment. It infuriates her. What does this calm, methodical woman know about living on the edge? And why does it seem like Danielle's indifference is the one thing Haerin can't conquer?

Their paths continue to cross, each encounter a battle of wills. Haerin's reckless ambition collides with Danielle's cold, pragmatic view of survival. But behind the insults and the tension, something deeper begins to stir-a fragile, unspoken connection that neither of them can deny.

Will Haerin continue to chase the rush, or will Danielle's quiet wisdom break through her walls? And when disaster inevitably strikes, will they be enemies or something more?
