At times, it’s the person who holds the deepest affection for you who inflicts the most profound pain.
Lily’s journey hasn’t always been smooth, yet obstacles have never deterred her from striving relentlessly for the life she envisions. Having traveled a considerable distance from her humble origins in a small Maine town, she has achieved remarkable milestones—graduating college, relocating to Boston, and launching her own enterprise. When a magnetic connection forms with the captivating neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid, Lily’s world undergoes a seismic shift, almost feeling too serendipitous to be real.
Ryle’s demeanor is characterized by assertiveness, stubbornness, and perhaps a trace of arrogance. However, beneath this exterior lies sensitivity, brilliance, and an unexpectedly tender corner of his heart reserved for Lily. His presence, particularly when donning scrubs, lingers in Lily’s thoughts. Yet, Ryle’s unwavering resistance to committed relationships raises unsettling questions. While Lily begins to erode his “no dating” rule, she remains inquisitive about the origins of his emotional stance.
Amid the growing uncertainties surrounding her new romance, Lily is consumed by thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her initial love and a tether to the past she once left behind. Atlas embodied her kindred spirit and served as her protector. With his abrupt reappearance, everything Lily has painstakingly constructed with Ryle becomes jeopardized.
