Between the Lines - A Seattle Grace Romance

In the high-pressure world of Seattle Grace Hospital, where every second counts and emotions run high, Dr. Mark Sloan-the hospital's notorious playboy plastic surgeon-has never let anyone get too close. But behind his charm and confidence lies a man still haunted by heartbreak and loss.

Enter Hailey Bennett, the no-nonsense OR Nursing Supervisor, whose cool composure and unwavering professionalism have earned her respect-and a reputation for being untouchable. She's spent years building walls to protect herself, unwilling to risk her career or her heart in the chaos of hospital life.

When a shared trauma brings them together, their carefully guarded boundaries begin to blur. As they work side by side through life-or-death surgeries, Mark and Hailey discover that beneath the surface of their professional respect lies a connection neither of them expected-or feels ready to confront.

But in a hospital full of gossip, rivalries, and unrelenting pressure, their growing bond threatens to complicate everything. Hailey isn't sure she can trust a man like Mark, and Mark isn't sure he deserves someone like Hailey. Both carry scars they've kept hidden, and neither is sure if the risks of crossing the line are worth the reward.

Because some lines aren't meant to be crossed. Or are they?
