She's built a life on saving others. He's trying to save himself. Love was never in the plan-but the heart has its own rhythm.
Victoria Kane is a night shift nurse at Metropolitan General Hospital-a place where the coffee is bad, the hours are brutal, and the stakes are life and death. After a devastating betrayal, she's sealed her heart behind walls of routine and professionalism. She has no time for romance, especially not with the dangerously charming new doctor on her unit.
Dr. Ethan Cross is running-from a past he won't talk about and a career that nearly broke him. Transferring to Metro General's night shift was supposed to be a quiet reset. He didn't expect to meet a nurse who challenges him, calms him, and sees straight through the mask he wears for the world.
Thrown together in late-night emergencies and quiet hallway conversations, their connection deepens. But trust doesn't come easy for either of them. When emotions start to override protocols and personal boundaries blur, Victoria must decide if she's ready to take one more risk... and Ethan must confront the past he left behind.
In the quiet hours when the world sleeps, two hearts will have to decide: Is love worth breaking the rules-and the walls around their hearts?
Perfect for fans of slow-burn medical romance, emotional tension, and second chances that sneak up on you like a 3AM heartbeat.
