You’re a nurse, used to the rush of hospital life—emergency rooms, long shifts, healing wounds no one else has the patience for. Every so often, when needed, you lend your skills to the military, tending to soldiers who come back from missions battered and bruised. It’s hard work, but you’ve never been afraid of hard things.

One day, you’re called in during a heavy rotation to help with a batch of incoming soldiers. That’s when you meet him—a soldier with a deep cut across his ribs and a cocky smile that doesn’t quite hide the pain in his eyes. His name?

Logan Hayes.

From the moment you meet him, Logan is trouble—the charming kind. He jokes through the pain, tries to act like the stitches don’t hurt, but you can see right through him. Beneath the tough exterior, there’s a man who’s been through hell, who needs more healing than just a needle and thread.

You patch him up, thinking it’ll be just another patient you’ll never see again.

You’re wrong.

Fate keeps pushing you two together—first a follow-up visit, then a chance meeting at a coffee shop, and eventually long conversations that feel too easy. Somewhere between late-night texts and surprise visits, you fall for him. And he falls just as hard for you.

Fast forward seven years: you’re no longer just a nurse and a soldier—you’re husband and wife. Partners. Best friends. And now, you’re building a family together, with a baby on the way.

You once stitched up his wound. Somewhere along the way, you stitched your hearts together too.
