The conference room smelled faintly of disinfectant and burnt coffee. Sterile floors, tired faces, institutional air. The blinds were half drawn, muting the afternoon light.

Anna took the chair she’d been assigned, back straight, hands folded in her lap. It was her first time being a doctor under review.

Just like Pierce had warned her, the peer review notice had arrived the very next day. It was scheduled for the weekend—Saturday—the same day as the event she'd agreed to attend with Jason.

    "Is that Leah you're speaking to?"Anna nodded, angling her phone a little toward Elena as she walked around to her side of the dining table."Hey girl." Elena waved at Leah, taking the chair beside Anna. "I thought you weren't speaking to us, huh?"Leah rolled her eyes through the screen. "I decided to be proactive about my... condition. And unfortunately, Anna here has a lot to say.""A lot to say?" Anna laughed. "You're the one who called me, Leah.""Because I know you'd have a lot to say.""You didn't even bring up 'your condition', I did. You said you just wanted to check in."Leah clicked her tongue. "Do you want to keep talking or not?""Threaten the moment you get exposed. Classic move." Elena laughed, and Anna joined her.Leah made a face at them before waving it off. "What were you saying, Annie, before the little parrot interrupted us?"Ivy and another staff member walked into the dining area, carrying trays of serving dishes and pitchers of water and juice. Anna waited as

    Anna sank lower into the water, watching as Jason actually tugged off his tie, his eyes fixed on her the entire time."Shouldn't you still be at work? Or reading some textbook? Studying patient charts?"Anna gave him a sidelong look. "You're one to talk. Shouldn't you still be at that boring meeting of yours, playing golf, trading germs and pretending you're curing the world instead of bleeding it dry?"She could've sworn she saw the corner of his lips twitch. But then he pressed his lips together, clearing his throat right after as though he hadn't just almost cracked a smile."Someone sounds salty." He crouched beside the edge of the pool, tilting his head.Why was he not leaving?Anna pulled her lip between her teeth. She wasn't sure whether the heat in her cheeks was because of him or from being out in the sun for too long."This." He nodded toward her in the pool. "Gives me hope for the workaholic in you."Anna frowned. "I'm not a workaholic.""Sure you are." He threw the tie in

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    The Familiar Pull

    Anna stared up at Jason Knight, stupefied by the words she'd heard, unable to stop the heat rising to her cheeks. Her eyes traced the contour of his lips, following the slight lift at one corner.When had Jason started teasing her so casually again?"You seem distracted.""Mm." Anna's gaze lifted to meet his eyes. His dropped briefly to her lips and back up so quickly she thought she'd imagined it."Something on my lips?"Anna blinked. Oh Lord.That was when she noticed how close they were standing. She took a quick step back, her face practically on fire."I wasn't looking at your lips."The corner of Jason's mouth lifted higher. "I didn't say you were, did I?"Why was he coming closer?"I was just... just astounded that you'd think I'd want to have a private moment with you." She was rambling. She needed to keep her mouth shut or she'd be digging a bigger grave for herself."Astounded?" Jason chuckled, leaning in. His eyes gleamed with mischief. "Your face says otherwise right now."

    Anna barely made it past the doorway before Jason caught up with her. His hand closed around her wrist, stopping her so abruptly she almost stumbled.“What are you doing?" She wriggled her wrist, trying to break free. "Let me go, Jason.”“Let them be.”Anna stared at him. “What?”He released her wrist but stepped in front of her before she could continue toward the courtyard. “Let them be.”Outside, Leah had already made it halfway across the courtyard with Gideon right behind her.“Lee, please.”“Don't.”“Just stop for a second.”“I said don't, Gideon.”Anna's heart broke at the sight. How had they gotten to this? She stepped forward without realizing, her eyes fixed on them."I should—"Jason moved, blocking her path. "No."Anna glared at him. “Excuse you?”Jason nodded toward the courtyard. “Let them hash it out themselves.”“But Leah wants space and I betrayed her trust. I need to—"“If you get in between them right now, your supposed betrayal becomes the thing they talk about ins

    Anna sat cross-legged on the quilt, staring out into the night, a thin blanket wrapped around her shoulders. She reached for another tissue from the box beside her and wiped beneath her nose, sniffing as she did.She'd changed out of the loose shirt and shorts she'd worn earlier, trading them for a thin, soft camisole and loose pajama trousers. Since she'd made her way to her room, she'd been resisting the urge to text Leah. To ask how she really was. She'd had to keep reminding herself to be patient. But tomorrow suddenly felt too far away.Tears clung to her lashes, her cheeks still wet. Just as she dropped the tissue onto the small pile of crumpled tissues beside her, a soft knock came at her door. She glanced toward the door, her brows furrowing.The knock came again, soft and hesitant in its rhythm.Elena?Once she'd convinced Gideon to go home and come back tomorrow afternoon, she'd headed upstairs immediately. She was probably here to ask what was really going on. Turning away,

  • Ruined By My Brother-In-Law    I Love You, I'm Sorry

    Handsome,This is probably the last time I'd get to call you that. I couldn't text or call you to say this, so I'm writing it instead.I'm sorry.I know you probably won't understand why I'm doing this. I don't fully understand it myself.The past months has been harder than I've let you see. I thought I was getting better. I thought if I went back to normal, kept busy, smiled and laughed when I was supposed to, eventually everything would stop hurting. But it hasn't. And lately, I've started feeling like I'm standing beside my own life instead of actually living it.You keep telling me that we're okay. That losing our baby didn't change us. That what the doctors said doesn't change the future we imagined.I want to believe you. I really do.But every time you talk about our future, I find myself wondering whether I'm enough to be part of it anymore. I hate that I've started thinking that way. I hate even more that I haven't known how to tell you.You have been patient with me. You ha

    God help her. She was supposed to be checking his wound, not… doing whatever it was Jason was trying to. “Doctor-patient privilege or… you know what, never mind. Sleeve.” He rolled his sleeve higher, slow and deliberate, eyes on her. “This okay?” His voice was low. But the way he sat—straight-b

    It wasn't Jason. Just a staff member. Anna wasn't sure what she felt—relief it wasn't him, or disappointment that it wasn't. She was so caught between wanting him and reason. Maybe because it's been a while she had sex? Was that it? What had just happened right there in the restaurant—in the op

    Jason froze. The hand holding the wine over Anna's glass stilled as his gaze caught hers. He cursed under his breath. “Don't do that,” he exhaled, voice raspy, setting the bottle down. Anna watched as he adjusted in his chair, pulled his suit jacket off and hung it on the chair back. “Don't do

    Dark red? Pink? They say red is dangerous and seductive. That's the vibe she was supposed to be going for, right? Anna stared at her reflection. Her gown clung to her curves like sin and silk—black, halter-necked, its plunging neckline a deliberate rebellion against reason. The fabric hugged he
