Code Blue

Noa Biyu Thompson has survived everything the streets have thrown at her.

At twenty-three, she's known as one of the toughest names around-quiet, loyal, and willing to bleed for the people she loves. Between helping her mother keep a roof over their heads and carrying the weight of a dangerous life, she's convinced herself that peace was never meant for someone like her.

Then one morning, a single bullet changes everything.

After a high-speed chase ends with her car wrapped around a utility pole, Noa wakes up in a hospital recovery room... and meets Bailey Lynn Jones, the nurse with warm brown eyes, impossible dimples, and a smile capable of stopping her heart faster than any bullet ever could.

What begins as routine checkups and awkward conversations slowly turns into stolen smiles, late-night talks, and feelings neither of them expected. For the first time in years, Noa finds herself wanting something beyond survival.

But in Noa's world, love is never free.

When her enemies discover the one person capable of reaching the heart she buried long ago, Bailey becomes more than a nurse.

She becomes a target.

Now Noa must decide if she can leave her old life behind... or if the life she's fought so hard to protect will destroy the only person who's ever made her want a future.

Some wounds need stitches.

Others need love.
