The Things We Mend

For Alice Wright, becoming a nurse was never just a career-it was a calling. Every day, she helps mend broken bodies while quietly carrying a heart she's never been able to heal herself.

Years ago, she fell deeply in love with the one person she believed would always be her forever. But when their relationship suddenly ended in heartbreak, it left Alice to rebuild her life one day at a time. Throwing herself into long shifts, the demanding pace of the pediatric emergency department, and the entering the volatile dating scene, she has convinced herself that caring for everyone else is enough.

It isn't.

Just when she's finally accepted that some love stories aren't meant to have happy endings, fate places the man she never stopped loving back in her path. Becoming her hero again, and carrying regrets from his past, he forces Alice to confront the memories she's spent years trying to bury.

As old feelings resurface, so do the painful truths that drove them apart. Sometimes the greatest act of healing isn't saving someone else's life-it's finding the strength to to mend your own heart.
