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. When their paths collide, the professional distance Ava has spent years perfecting begins to crumble. Isabelle's warmth is intoxicating, a direct threat to the clinical coldness of the West family legacy.

Falling for the resident is more than a scandal—it's professional suicide. As secrets leak from the boardroom to the bedroom, Ava must decide if she will remain a variable in a profit margin or finally become the woman she was meant to be. But in a world where efficiency is king, can love survive the protocol?
