Hesitation Kills

"You hate me". I murmur.

"If I hated you, I wouldn't bother correcting you." He says, sharply.

"That's your version of kindness?"

"Don't flatter yourself. You know you're dangerously confident for someone who's been a doctor for five minutes." He spits back.

"And you're dangerously arrogant for someone who's clearly not used to being challenged."

Aurora 'Rory' Laurier has spent the last 9 years believing one thing: hesitation kills.

After losing her sister in a tragic car accident, Rory vowed to become the kind of doctor who would never waste a second when someone's life is on the line. Rory has started as an intern at Manhattan Medical Center - she's impulsive, reckless and stubborn, she acts on instincts - ready to prove she belongs in the chaos of trauma surgery.

The only problem: Cole Grant.
Ruthless, intimidating, arrogant and egotistical, Dr. Grant is one of the greatest Cardio surgeons in New York. He has a reputation for perfection and doesn't have time for those who can't keep up. From the first day they meet, Rory challenges Grant, he thinks she's reckless, she thinks he's too cautious.

However, just as Rory has her own reasons for moving too quickly, Cole Grant has his own reasons for his extreme precision, caution and patience... a reason he's not willing to share.

But everyone knows there's a thin line between love and hate. As their rivalry starts to cross the line into undeniable chemistry, the pair find themselves caught in a forbidden romance between attending and intern.

As their forbidden relationship deepens, secrets from the past come crashing down... lies Rory can't bring herself to forgive, changing her perspective of the man she thought she knew.
