Ein Workplace-Liebesroman
For as long as she can remember, Millie has had her limits. Staying within them keeps her isolated, safe; helps her to cope. Why then have they started to feel so stifling? Why is her loneliness starting to rival her fears? When she watches him, she wishes she could be normal; she wishes she could be like the people he interacts with so seamlessly. Pavlos Martakis is her complete and total opposite: physically intimidating, likable, naturally attractive, extremely confident, sexually promiscuous: the most uninhibited, charming, outgoing, and free person she has ever encountered in her life. He fascinates Millie; thrills and intimidates her in equal measure. But, as the culprit behind the invention of her nickname Nuclear Winter, Millie knows that if Pav feels anything for her, it is more than likely contempt. Cold, boring, robotic: that is how the rest of the hospital sees her. So she can safely watch him from afar. He would never notice her … would he?

For Libby, beauty is a means to an end; as a pregnant teenager striving to become a doctor, she has learned to sacrifice her dignity for her dreams and her daughter’s future. Now, as she faces the pressures of working in a real hospital, she feels her resolve beginning to crumble. The last thing she needs is to clash with Jamie, the judgmental Head of Medical Education. As the stress mounts, Libby’s health hangs in the balance. A chance encounter with a four-year-old girl and her exhausted mother forces Jamie to confront his own behavior. Though Libby is reluctant to accept his help, Jamie becomes determined to support her and her daughter. When a night out leads him to discover Libby’s unexpected connection to a strip club, his reaction is intense. Despite their complicated history, Libby refuses to let Jamie diminish her pride again, no matter how charming he may be. This contemporary romance unfolds over approximately 90,000 words, promising a satisfying resolution.
