Atticus Thorin was used to being in control—at work, with women, and inside the carefully ordered life he had built around detachment. But Samantha Sheridan’s sharp mouth, guarded past, and untouched curiosity turned attraction into something far more dangerous: a puzzle he wanted to solve.
The thought of being the one to unravel her, to guide her to unexplored heights of pleasure, sent a thrill of anticipation through me. This was more than mere attraction; it was a challenge, a puzzle begging to be solved.
~Dr. Atticus Thorin, Night Shift

Their story blends workplace romance, age gap tension, grumpy/sunshine banter, medical suspense, redemption, and a thrilling mafia twist that forces a broken doctor to confront how far he will go for the woman he cannot stop wanting.
