He'd never once been tempted to break his oath . . . until he met her.


Michael Young has only ever cared about two things: being the best cardiothoracic surgeon and ascending into the House of Atlas on his thirty-third birthday. Joining Amanar General Hospital was only meant to be another stepping stone toward his ultimate success—until he meets his new coworker. She’s everything he never anticipated. Brilliant, fiercely dedicated, and an enticing challenge he can’t seem to shake. As their rivalry to become the new medical director heats up, Michael finds himself questioning everything he’s ever known. He’s never once been tempted to break his oath, but is the chance at something real with her worth losing?



Azara Ziani has only ever dreamed of one thing—being a surgeon. Her path to becoming the next medical director was on track until she was forced into competing against her new boss for the role. He’s everything she hates. Arrogant, smug, and a charmingly infuriating thorn in her side who revels in pushing her buttons. She’s never been tempted to shift her priorities, but her resolve starts wavering when she finds herself thrown into dangerously close proximity with the sexy new doctor. But when his hidden truth is unveiled, she’s faced with an impossible choice: follow her heart or walk away from him forever.
