Perfect for you if...

You love medical thrillers grounded in real hospital procedure and want authenticity that only comes from someone who's actually worked in an ER.
You're drawn to romance that emerges naturally from high-stakes situations rather than taking centre stage.
You appreciate fast-paced plots with genuine tension and a protagonist who's smart enough to solve problems herself.

Maybe not for you if...

You want a heavy romance where the relationship is the main plot; here it's secondary to the medical mystery and danger.
You prefer cosy mysteries or slower-burn character studies over adrenaline-fuelled procedural tension.
You're uncomfortable with scenes involving drug overdoses and hospital trauma.

About this book

Dr. Cassandra Hart works in a Pittsburgh emergency room overwhelmed by young patients overdosing on a new drug called FX. When Cassie discovers the drug is being sourced from within her own hospital, her best friend is killed and her life is threatened. She turns to Detective Mickey Drake for help. As they work together to uncover the truth behind the thefts, Cassie and Drake's professional relationship develops into a personal one. Their investigation leads them to confront a killer, and they must rely on their newfound connection and courage to survive. Written by a pediatric ER physician, the novel combines medical realism with the intensity of emergency room work, drawing on insider knowledge of hospital life and the dangers that exist within it.
