Because in the silence of empty offices... Truth doesn't stay hidden. And once the line between professional and personal is crossed There's no pretending it was never there.

Doctor Marina Chase doesn't do winter anymore. Not after a lifetime of brutal snow blizzards, not after the promise she made to herself. She built herself a life and a career on soft smiles, control, and impressive lightness. A life made out of the warm summer sunshine. She got hired as an attending emergency psychiatrist of Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, and was excited to start her new job. She just wasn't told she'd have to deal with emotionally constipated doctors. Among them, the infamous Dr Jack Abbot. Dry. Guarded. Doesn't look away when her sunshine flickers. As the cases and long shifts blur into sleepless nights and professional boundaries being broken, Marina finds herself entangled into a dangerous web: she's getting too attached to her work mates, and worse: Dr. Abbot. It was terrifying, because her new friends were started to see her little snow storms. And it was terrifyingly intimate because Abott didn't want her summer at all. He wants the winter. Written in short, episodic chapters that slowly weave together, "caught up in this web" is a tale about love, trauma, relapse, and the quiet danger of needing someone who might actually stay.

Brooke Sterling has spent years learning how to survive the emergency department at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, and the trap rooms in her own mind. Brooke is a senior resident under long-term psychiatric watch: steady hands, controlled breathing, one dose of clonazepam at a time. The medication keeps the monsters in her mind quiet, but it also leaves her feeling like a shell of herself. She doesn't like it. Only one person has ever known the full story. Only one person knows the entire truth: Frank Langdon. When Brooke discovers Frank has been stealing benzodiazepines from the hospital, the life they built together over years fractures overnight. His mistake sends him to rehab for ten months. Ten months Brooke must survive without the one person who always understood her. Or the only person she thought truly understood her. Told in short chapters, Jagged and Weak follows those ten months, and the fragile weeks after, as two people learn what it means to break, rebuild, and decide if love deserves a second chance.

Daniel Merrell was just about the most competent man you'd ever meet. He was sharp, strategic, and always on top of everything. He worked efficiently and knew exactly what to say and do to complete a project ahead of its deadline. He counted everything-steps, coffee cups, and even the number of times he said "strategic alignment" in meetings (well, actually, Mallory does that for him. She's been keeping a tally: forty-seven and counting, apparently). But he was terrified of everything. Mondays, coffee machines that judge him, elevators with other people in them, the very idea of anyone knowing he exists... even office succulents on the brink of death that definitely have opinions about his life choices. (Don't ask him how he knows that. He just does.) But most of all, he's terrified of Ava Thomas. Not because she's intimidating. Because she's kind. She sees through his corporate jargon and anxiety, yet she still smiles at him across the office. She greets him in the mornings and engages in small talk, simply because she doesn't want the new guy to feel lonely. She even offers to help him out, despite him giving her no reason to do so. He had never met anyone quite like her before. And now... he's doomed. Now, he has to decide: stay safe and alone, or do the terrifying work of becoming someone not only worthy of a second chance at love after facing devastating heartbreak, but someone actually capable of receiving it. This is a story about anxiety, growth, and learning that being brave isn't the absence of fear. It's choosing love anyway.

Or is the greatest threat to his heart... his own blind jealousy? A slow-burn, office romance about the loud secrets we keep behind closed doors.
