They tried to separate them.
They failed.
Arielle Monroe knows she shouldn't want him.
Dr. Weston Hale knows he can't stay away.
Forced into different wings after a "too close" collaboration, they try to bury what happened between them - the almost-kiss, the locked-door moment, the heat that never really faded.
But every hallway they cross, every patient they share, every breath they take in the same room brings them right back to the edge.
This is no innocent crush.
No workplace flirtation.
This is gravity, obsession, emotional unraveling - the kind of slow-burn intimacy that turns into fire.
And when the pressure finally cracks, their collision is as beautiful as it is dangerous.
Book Two of The Quiet Shift Series - a raw, poetic, emotionally erotic romance that digs deeper, burns slower, and cuts sharper.

Beautiful Stranger (Completed)
Insert from story "You have kind eyes." He said, holding my gaze. "You look innocent." That was on purpose. "Are you ever going to tell me your name?" He asked as he started to clean my foot. "I already did. It's Heather." "Heather." He said, keeping his voice even. "Yes, Heather Dean." He just chuckled, like he didn't believe me. "Why do I get the impression that you think I'm lying?" I asked. "Because of how you respond every time I called you that." Oh...Crap, that wasn't good. "You haven't shared your name either." I pointed out. "I'm waiting." He answered simply. "For what?" "For you to tell me the truth." He looked back up at me. "It only seems fair right?" "It would only seem fair if I was lying." He looked at me for awhile before saying, "So, you're going to stick to that story, huh? All right. Well, when you're ready to be honest, I'll share my name." He had a point but....I still needed to be careful. Yes, he had been kind but that still wasn't reason enough for me to trust him just yet.Complete
