Dr. Cole Vaughn is a talented surgeon about to be sacrificed. Saving him could end Harper Sutton's career. He won't let her pay that price.
Dr. Vaughn has spent his career being twice as good for half the recognition. When a patient's family files a complaint that puts his future at Ridgeway Medical Center on the line, he fully expects to be sacrificed.
What he doesn't expect is Harper Sutton.
As Director of Risk Management, Harper protects patients, enforces standards, and, when necessary, ends careers. This investigation should be just another case file, routine and contained.
It isn't.
His record is clean, but someone powerful has been very careful to make sure none of that matters. She could destroy everything he's worked for...or she could risk her career defending him.
The deeper Harper digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes, and the harder it becomes to pretend that what's building between them is anything less than what it is.
She holds his career in her hands. He won't let her risk everything she's built to save him. In a system built to protect itself, choosing each other may come at a cost neither of them can afford.
