Hearts Under Glass

To the world, Ava West is the ice queen of Metropolis General-a high-powered COO who maneuvers through hospital politics with the same surgical precision as the men in her family. She's built a life of Italian silk suits and corporate optics, masking a soul weary of being treated like a transactional asset. She doesn't have room for earnestness, and she certainly doesn't have room for Isabelle. Isabelle is a dedicated oncology resident with a bright future and a dangerous connection: she's the protégée of Ava's own brother.

Dr. Simone Thorne is a glacial force of nature--a surgical genius who has built a fortress around her heart to protect a painful past. In the sterile, glass-and-steel corridors of Metropolis General, she is the undisputed queen of the operating room. Until Kaia Rossi arrives. Kaia is everything Simone is not: rebellious, charismatic, and dangerously unorthodox. A rural intern with a 'Blue Ledger' full of secrets and a habit of challenging the hospital's elitist hierarchy, she's a virus in Simone's perfectly clean room. Simone is supposed to be her mentor, not her downfall.
