Steel Hearts, Gentle Hands | Dr. Jack Abbot
When Dr. Daniella Vale leaves behind the sun-soaked life she once shared with her unfaithful husband, she trades California warmth for Pittsburgh steel. Determined, brilliant, and newly free, she steps into The Pitt-one of the busiest trauma centers in the country-with a single promise to herself: never shrink again.
What she doesn't expect is him.
Dr. Jack Abbot is a legend in trauma surgery-cold, relentless, impossible to impress, and infamous for keeping the world at arm's length. Fellows fear him. Nurses respect him. Residents avoid him. But when Daniella arrives with sharp skill and a quiet fire in her eyes, the man who has forgotten how to feel finds himself... noticing.
She's sunshine with edges.
He's winter with a heartbeat.
Thrown together in a world where every second matters, Daniella becomes the only person capable of softening Jack's defenses-and the one woman he knows he shouldn't want. She's younger, freshly healed, and far too bright for a man who's convinced his heart is past saving.
But in The Pitt, where life and death collide, even steel can bend.
And sometimes, the coldest hearts warm first.
