Anne wasn’t looking for love when she scheduled her first appointment. All she wanted was a routine checkup and maybe a sense of stability after the heartbreak of her last relationship. But from the moment she walked into Dr. Rachel Miller’s office, she felt something unexpected—an undeniable pull she couldn’t explain.

Rachel is everything a patient could want in a doctor: professional, calm, compassionate. Yet beneath her white coat and steady demeanor lies a warmth that draws Anne closer each time they meet. For Anne, every glance, every touch during an exam awakens feelings she thought she had buried. For Rachel, every conversation makes it harder to maintain the professional distance her career demands.

As their connection deepens, both women must confront the risks of crossing the line between patient and doctor. For Anne, it’s about opening her heart again after loss. For Rachel, it’s about choosing love in a place where rules and reputation could cost her everything.

Can they trust what they’re feeling, or will fear keep them apart? And if they give in to desire, will it be the beginning of something real—or the end of everything they’ve built?
