Max Benson is Oakridge Hospital’s heart. She’s a senior NICU nurse who leads with warmth, bends the rules for her tiny patients, and feels everything too deeply. Nothing rattles her… except Dr.
Asha Patel. Asha, the hospital’s brilliant but guarded neonatologist, thrives on control and perfection. Max’s chaos and her kindness get under her skin in all the wrong ways.
Their clashes are constant until a high-pressure case forces them closer.
Under the buzz of monitors and the glow of holiday lights, one stolen kiss shatters their professional boundaries, and neither woman can walk away. Max refuses to be anyone’s secret.
Asha is terrified of being seen. But as snow falls outside and hearts are on the line, love might be the most dangerous risk of all.
