Forever Winter || Jack Abbot

Nurse Hailey Langdon joins the controlled chaos of PTMC determined to work hard and outrun the shadows she's lived under her whole life.

Dr. Jack Abbot has spent years surviving behind calm professionalism, sharp instincts, and a ghost he can't let go of.

What starts as sharp banter and impossible chemistry between the two slowly turns into something far more dangerous. Late-night coffees, lingering looks across trauma rooms, and a connection neither of them is prepared for.

But the ER has a way of reopening old wounds.

And when the line between professional and personal begins to blur, Hailey and Jack are forced to confront the things they've spent years trying to survive: grief, guilt, loneliness... and the terrifying possibility of letting someone in again.
