Amelia Okonkwo has a spotless record, a first-choice attending in her corner, and a program director's wife who cannot stop matchmaking. When a famous visiting surgeon arrives and is instantly rumored to be her lover, she doesn't correct it. The other residents finally stop treating her like a favorite daughter. Dr. Liam Darcy did not come to New York to be a rumor. But a clean, stable, respected engagement to a serious resident is exactly the reputation he needs while his divorce settles. Six months, a pair of rings, no expectations. Then the coffee starts showing up on her early rounds. Then he starts telling her things. Then a medical error threatens them both, and telling the truth means risking everything they've built. Neither planned to stop pretending. Neither stops.
