A Da Silva Sisters Novel. 

*WORK IN PROGRESS* thank you for reading :) 

Dr. Valerie Da Silva has spent her life building walls-around her heart, her past, and especially around Sterling Blaine, the brilliant, dangerously obsessive childhood friend she's refused to acknowledge as anything more. But when they're assigned to the same trauma rotation during their second year of residency, old tensions resurface-sharp, magnetic, and impossible to ignore.

Sterling, heir to a hospital empire and a man who's spent years hiding a storm beneath his flawless exterior, has only ever wanted one thing: her. And now, after years of therapy, degrees, and darkness, he's back-ready to claim the woman he's loved since they were children.

But secrets don't stay buried in the sterile lights of the ER, and love-especially theirs-has never been clean.

What begins as a game of power and control soon becomes a war between obsession and vulnerability. And as trauma strikes both inside and outside the hospital, Valerie and Sterling must face the truth: some people aren't meant to be saved.

Some are meant to be chosen-again and again.All Rights Reserved

WHEN SHE FALLS by cglipper

Declan Chase is about to start the life of his dreams, with a promising career in plastic surgery and a supermodel-with-two-Harvard-degrees fiancée. All that stands in the way is one last month of med school, and a secret that could ruin everything. Callahan Perrin is a young prodigy with a troubled past. Famous since childhood for her unique art, her gift is also her curse. She's got every reason to be happy. A new exhibit that's getting rave reviews. A starring role in her own wildly popular reality TV show. So what is she doing in Belmont Springs Psychiatric Hospital, days after an overdose that might have been intentional? When Dec is assigned to be Callie's med student, neither one of them wants to be there. She's looking to get out of Belmont as fast as possible. He's counting down the days to graduation and his wedding. So what if they share a slightly warped sense of humor, or get so wrapped up in conversation that hours feel like minutes? Forget chemistry. Romance is off limits. After all, who would be crazy enough to fall in love in a psych ward? **Content / Trigger Warning: this story contains scenes of drug use, including an overdose, as well as suicidal ideation (Chapters 4 and 31).

BUY NOW ON AMAZON https://a.co/d/cF5Xeb8 When Ethan Miller falls for the brilliant and enigmatic psychology student Natalie Bennett, their connection feels electric-intense, magnetic, irresistible. But love with Natalie is never simple. Every gesture feels examined, every conversation calculated, every emotion mirrored back at him with unsettling precision. What Ethan doesn't know is that their romance began as part of a groundbreaking psychological study-one designed to dissect love itself. But when the experiment shatters and the truth surfaces, Ethan discovers something far darker: Natalie wasn't the mastermind she believed she was. She, too, was being manipulated. By the one person she trusted most. Now Ethan and Natalie must confront shocking revelations, blurred truths, and buried wounds as they navigate the ruins of their relationship. Was anything between them ever real? Or were they both pawns in a larger, colder experiment on the human heart? A story of love twisted by science, healing forged through truth, and two broken souls fighting to reclaim something genuine in a world built on manipulation. Perfect for readers who crave emotional depth, psychological intrigue, slow-burn romance, and unforgettable twists.

Bruiseprint by Cece_imagines

A story of love, pain, and second chances. In a world where friendships crumble and kisses taste of betrayal, some wounds cut deeper than skin. A lover's touch can heal-or destroy. Behind every smile hides a secret. Behind every promise, a lie. And in the ashes of loss and sabotage, hearts still ache for the kind of love that survives it all. Different, yet the same-bound by the bruises and scars of their choices, their pasts, their mistakes. Some wounds break, some redeem... but in the end, love always leaves its mark. *** ⚠️ Disclaimer: Sensitive Content This story explores themes of sexual abuse, human trafficking, grooming, emotional trauma, domestic violence, and morally complex relationships. It delves into the long-term psychological impact of abuse and how it can distort one's understanding of love, trust, and self-worth. The characters, their actions, and their choices are entirely fictional and are not intended to condone or glorify abuse, manipulation, or inappropriate relationships of any kind. Reader discretion is strongly advised. Started: May 2025 *** Bruiseprint - a made-up name. Some loves leave marks, not just the kind that hurt, but the kind that shape us. They stay with us like prints. Our bruises tell stories. Pain leaves a print, but so does healing. This is the imprint of a love that changed them both. Thank you for reading ❤️♾️

✦ Marked: The Anatomy of Control ✦ 𝓐𝓻𝓬 7 "Not all monsters wear masks. Some wear gloves... and call it healing." Amora is dying. Her body, cracked beneath the weight of celestial chaos. Her soul, splintering more with every breath. No hospital is safe. No doctor can be trusted. The ECU is everywhere-watching, waiting, hunting. In a moment of desperation, Damon speaks a name he swore he'd never say again: Dr. Crane. Not a stranger. Not a savior. But the surgeon who carved Damon into the stitched-up weapon the ECU unleashed on the world. A man who studied pain like art-who broke boys and built ghosts. Now, to keep Amora alive, they let him in. Into their home. Into her space. Into her body. But this isn't rescue. It's control-slow, clinical, and terrifying. A scalpel hidden behind soft smiles. A predator in the skin of a doctor. This arc is the first raw descent into Damon Blake's origin... and a haunting reminder: Sometimes the greatest evil doesn't come with fire or fury. It comes with a clipboard, clean hands- and full access. 🌙 Trigger Warning 🖤 This arc contains graphic depictions of medical trauma, body horror, emotional and physical abuse, non-consensual contact under the guise of care, manipulation, and psychological torment. Themes include loss of bodily autonomy, PTSD, and survivor's guilt. Reader discretion is strongly advised. - "Even mercy can wear a mask. And not all healing comes with kindness." Rights reserved

Every Shot of You by avahkwong

At Espresso Yourself, the cozy café tucked into the ground floor of Edenview Hospital, CEO and head barista Quinn Lockhart makes it her mission to brighten every customer's morning, with extra foam, warm hazel eyes, and an easy smile that rarely falters. Except with Dr. Ava Moreno. The hospital's youngest top trauma surgeon, Ava is a picture of precision and control, always early, always distant, and never without her large Americano, extra shot, no sugar. She never lingers. Never chats. Never smiles. But every morning, without fail, she comes. And every morning, Quinn waits for her. What Quinn doesn't know is that this isn't their first time orbiting each other. Years ago, in the high-pressure haze of med school, Quinn and Ava shared something fragile, unspoken, and burning at both ends, a secret situationship that was as real as it was undefined. Late-night study sessions turned into tangled sheets and unsaid promises. But just as quickly as it flared, it vanished, forgotten entirely by Quinn after a personal crisis and a sudden career pivot that pulled her out of medicine altogether. But Ava? Ava remembers everything. Now, years later, Ava watches Quinn behind the café counter, smiling like none of it ever happened. Like she's never seen her cry. Never kissed her in the dark. Never whispered her name like it meant something. To Quinn, Ava is a mystery she's just now beginning to unravel. To Ava, Quinn is a heartbreak she never got to mourn. As the slow-burn tension between them reignites, Ava must decide whether to keep pretending or finally confront the woman who once loved her, and forgot. Because some brews are meant to be bitter. And some love stories don't start at the beginning... they start again.
