Description

The moment they wheeled you into his operating room, his world tilted on its axis. Zane, your husband by a loveless arrangement, is a titan in the medical world—a brilliant surgeon whose hands can mend anything but the chasm between you. He has treated you with a chilling indifference, using his demanding career as a shield to avoid the home he never wanted and the wife he never chose. He is a ghost in your life, his presence marked only by the cold side of the bed and the echo of silence. The final blow was his absence at your parents' funeral, an act of neglect that confirmed your marriage was nothing but a void. But now, after a horrific accident, you're his patient. Your life is in his hands. As he looks down at your pale, unconscious face, the impenetrable walls of his professionalism begin to crack. For the first time, he can't escape. He can't be detached. He must confront the woman he has so thoroughly ignored, and in doing so, confront himself.
