Healing of the Heart. City General: Medic 1, #5

Dr. Meredith Asquith has perfected the art of keeping everyone at arm's length. As a brilliant but cold neurosurgeon at City General Hospital, she's renowned for her surgical skills and infamous for her cutting demeanor. Behind her icy exterior lies a devastating truth: the car accident that claimed her wife and daughter eight years ago left her heart too broken to risk love again. When psychologist Emily Porter arrives to conduct the hospital's audit, she sees beyond Meredith's walls to the wounded woman beneath.
What begins as professional antagonism soon sparks into unexpected attraction as Emily's warmth slowly melts Meredith's carefully constructed defenses. Just as they begin to find happiness together, Emily suddenly leaves, and Meredith is left wondering if she'll ever learn to trust again. In an impossible twist of fate, they reunite halfway across the world in a war-torn country, both volunteering with Doctors Beyond Borders.
Surrounded by conflict and crisis, they're forced to confront their feelings amid impossible circumstances. From sterile hospital corridors to dangerous conflict zones, "Healing of the Heart" is a powerful story about having the courage to love after devastating loss. As Meredith and Emily navigate their unexpected journey, they discover that sometimes the most broken hearts have the greatest capacity to heal-and to love again.
