Tender Diagnosis

maria barnett


He’s the brilliant surgeon with a broken heart. I’m the guarded nurse who swore off love. But some lines are meant to be crossed.

After too many heartbreaks, I made a rule: no more men, especially not at work. But when Dr. Benjamin Carter strides into the hospital where I serve as head nurse, my resolve starts to crack.

He’s older, gruffer, and carries the kind of regrets that weigh heavily in his eyes. The same man who once saved my father’s life now stands in my path, unraveling the walls I’ve carefully built around my heart.

The sparks between us are impossible to ignore, but giving in means risking everything—our careers, our reputations, and my fragile heart.

As our forbidden connection deepens, secrets from his past and shadows from mine threaten to tear us apart. But some risks are worth taking… and maybe love is the one cure neither of us expected.

When healing others means facing the wounds you've buried.
