She saves lives for a living. Now someone wants to end hers.

Graham Holt spent years as a Navy SEAL corpsman making impossible choices about who to save. The guilt drove him to Doctors Without Borders, then to a covert unit where his medical skills meet tactical precision. He's learned to compartmentalize, to distance himself from the people he protects. It's the only way to function.

Maren Ward didn't move to Blossom Springs for peace. The ER nurse left a Chicago trauma center because she was burning out, not because she stopped craving the adrenaline. She still volunteers for every difficult shift. She still can't walk away from someone who needs help.

When a patient arrives under sealed protocols and vanishes without a trace, Maren starts asking questions. Her notes are altered. Her concerns are dismissed. And then someone tries to make her disappear too.

Graham's unit has uncovered a trafficking pipeline running through Blossom Springs' emergency systems -- using hospitals as waypoints for human cargo. Maren isn't just a witness. She's a target. Protecting her means staying close, and staying close means confronting everything he's tried to bury.

She refuses to be rescued. He refuses to let her fight alone. In the critical hours ahead, they'll discover that the hardest thing to save might be each other.
