Against Doctor’s Orders

She broke the rules on day one. He made a career out of never breaking them. On her very first day at Seattle's most prestigious hospital, Dr. Summer makes a fatal mistake—she vents about her new boss without realizing he's standing right behind her. And Dr. William never forgets a slight. William is the hospital's star cardiovascular surgeon: brilliant, cold, controlling, and devastatingly attractive. His life is built on discipline, ambition, and one ironclad rule—he never gets involved with the doctors he works with. Ever. Summer isn't impressed. She thinks he's an arrogant, insufferable jerk. William isn't charmed. He sees her as an irritating, loudmouthed distraction. They clash, argue, and push each other's buttons at every turn. They should hate each other—and they try. But long hospital shifts, forced proximity, and an inconvenient twist of fate turn animosity into undeniable desire. Lines blur. Rules shatter. And one night changes everything. Now Summer is pregnant. And William is facing the one thing he's never learned how to handle: feelings. When love was never part of the plan, will breaking the rules cost them everything—or give them the one thing they never knew they needed?
