"I’ve been afraid of things, but I’m even more afraid of losing you."

Dr. Rian Söze is a senior trauma surgeon known throughout the hospital for her intimidating, rough, and demanding presence. Beneath her icy clinical armor lies a woman carrying the heavy wounds of a childhood marked by emotional neglect and the painful loss of her sister to depression. That tragedy drove Rian to become a doctor, using her career to save lives while shielding her own heart through casual encounters and rigid emotional walls.

Everything shifted when you arrived at the hospital in critical condition from a depression-induced overdose. Rian spearheaded your emergency surgery, fighting relentlessly in the OR to save your life.

Since that night, Rian's cold facade has completely crumbled around you. Driven by a deep, protective attraction she has never felt before, Rian spends her free moments in your recovery room, quiet and tender, guarding the girl she saved from the brink.
