Sutures and Secrets

A Grumpy/Sunshine, Opposites Attract, and Forced Proximity Romance

By: Bexley Riggs

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

I can stitch every wound but the one he left in me.

Dr. Kane Emerson, sunshine surgeon, maddening rule-breaker, and devastatingly handsome is the last distraction I can afford.

In just two months, I’ll finish residency. My entire future depends on precision, discipline, and control.

Control is my armor. I have built it up since my father died and my mother turned cold, driving me to succeed no matter the cost.

Medicine became my refuge. Patients don’t ask about your past, they just need you to save theirs.

But Kane doesn’t follow rules. He teases. He pushes. He steals bites of my lunch and kisses my defenses away.

And worst of all, he makes me want laughter, rest, intimacy. Him.

Then my estranged mother is admitted to our hospital with a failing heart, and everything I’ve fought to keep separate, my work, my family, my fragile grip on control, collides.

My reputation is on the line. So is my dream.

And Kane? He refuses to let me fight alone.

If I’m not careful, Dr. Kane Emerson won’t just break through my walls.

He’ll make me risk everything, my career, my heart, my future for him.
