𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗱 | a medical romance 💉💔
Estella Rosewood has spent her whole life running-from the memories of a childhood that scarred her, the fire that stole her parents, and the pain she refuses to speak of. Now, she's finally made it: a first-year medical intern at Northbridge Memorial Hospital, where everything feels just a little too fast, too heavy, and too real.
Rowan West doesn't do attachments. Quiet, brilliant, and colder than the OR floor, he's got his own ghosts-and he's made peace with pushing people away before they ever get too close.
They weren't supposed to become anything.
But late nights, tired eyes, coffee runs, and the kind of pain only two broken hearts can recognize? It brings them together anyway.
💔 She's scared to let anyone in.
🩺 He's used to walking alone.
But in the middle of trauma bays, whispered confessions, and stolen glances in sterile hallways... love finds a way to stay.

Her protector. Her safe place. Her Daddy. Now living under the same roof, Ivy and Tyler navigate a fragile, healing love rooted in deep trust and the softest, sweetest version of dominance and submission. Tyler gives Ivy everything she never knew she needed: gentle rules, bedtime snuggles, and unconditional care. In return, she gives him her heart-and her whole self. But the past never stays buried. When a ghost from their history reappears, it threatens everything they've built. Together, they'll face old scars, reclaim their power, and prove that love-especially the kind that's chosen every single day-is the most healing force of all.Complete
