Sometimes the hardest operation is opening your heart.
Dr. Mateo Cirilo has built his life around precision and control. As a pediatric surgeon, he faces heartbreaking losses in the operating room almost daily, and the scars of his own childhood run even deeper. He loves his foster family fiercely, but one thing he knows for certain—he isn’t cut out for family life himself.
Shay Eisler has one rule: never date a doctor. Growing up with globe-trotting surgeon parents who put their careers before everything else taught her that lesson the hard way. Now she’s determined to give her young son, Eli, the stability she never had—even if that means keeping her heart firmly off-limits.
But fate has a sense of humor. Thirteen years after one unforgettable night together, Mateo and Shay’s paths collide. The sparks are still there, undeniable and dangerous. Trouble is, Mateo never planned on children, and Shay swore off men like him long ago.
As old feelings flare and new fears arise, they’ll have to decide whether love and family are worth the risk, or if some second chances are too complicated to pursue.
