Under Connor's Watch

Lauren Rhodes has spent her life fighting to prove she's more than her past.

A brilliant paediatric trauma surgeon with a mind that never stops moving, she arrives at Chicago's busiest hospital determined to build something that's entirely her own. She's talented, compassionate, and fiercely independent - but beneath all that confidence lives a girl who is still carrying the weight of addiction, family scars, and a history she never fully escaped.

Then Connor Rhodes walks back into her life.

The brother who left. The protector who never stopped caring. The one person who knows every version of her - the good, the broken, and the ones she tried to hide.

Working side by side in the chaos of the emergency room forces old wounds back to the surface, just as Lauren begins building a life she is terrified to lose. With long shifts, impossible cases, and emotions neither of them ever learned to handle, the hospital becomes more than a workplace - it becomes the place where the past collides with their future.
