Synopsis

Lila Tisdale fought for every inch of her future. Everett Kearns had his handed to him. Together, they clash hard, and fall harder… At San Diego’s most prestigious teaching hospital, their rivalry is instant and explosive. She thinks he’s an entitled legacy hire. He thinks she’s an overachieving know-it-all. Sparks fly on rounds, and not the good kind. When they’re both sent to volunteer at a struggling clinic in rural Mexico, escape isn’t an option. They’re working side by side, bunking under the same roof, and navigating long shifts without the comfort of cutting-edge equipment or personal space. In a place where titles don’t matter and perfection isn’t possible, Everett’s confidence begins to crack, and Lila starts to see the man behind the ego. Late nights, shared victories, and one unforgettable kiss change everything. But back home, ambition, family pressure, and a life-changing offer in Boston threaten to tear them apart… They can compete in the hospital. They can survive the chaos. But can they risk their hearts?
