Piece of Paper-Jackson Avery

Starting over in a city where no one knows your name is hard enough. Starting as a surgical intern at the legendary Seattle Grace Hospital? Even harder. But Madelyn Carter is determined to prove herself. Smart, passionate, and sharp-tongued when needed, she hides her fears behind confidence and charm. The only person she truly connects with is Lexie Grey, a sweet second-year resident who pulls Maddie into her circle of friends-including the infuriatingly charismatic plastic surgeon, Jackson Avery.

What begins as casual friendships and chaotic shifts soon turns into shared nights, inside jokes, and unspoken connections. But when Madelyn's world turns upside down with a devastating call from home, she's forced to make an impossible choice-and Jackson, unexpectedly, offers her a way out. A fake marriage. No strings. No expectations. Just a piece of paper... and his last name.

But nothing stays simple for long in a hospital full of secrets, late-night surgeries, and hearts on the line. Especially when a fake marriage starts to feel like something more.

She thought he'd save her father. She didn't expect him to wreck her world.
