Diagnosis of the Heart
Dana Winston
What happens when the doctor becomes the patient, and her only hope is the one man she's forbidden to love?
The first rule of medicine is *do no harm*. Dr. Priya Raman sleeping with her brilliant, arrogant new neurologist probably counts.
Dr. Evan Davis is everything she shouldn’t want. Her colleague. Her doctor. The one man who holds her future in his capable hands.
He’s also devastatingly attractive, infuriatingly perceptive, and the only person who sees past the confident facade she shows the world.
When a medical crisis forces them into close quarters, professional boundaries become impossible to maintain. Every stolen glance burns. Every accidental touch ignites something they both know they should resist.
He wants to save her. She wants to save her career. Neither of them expected to fall this hard.
The hospital has rules about doctor-patient relationships. But some attractions are too powerful to deny.
