One night was never meant to last forever... but can they resist the desires that refuse to fade, or will they risk it all for one more taste? I’ve never been one to believe in forever—just the thrill of right now. When I first set my sights on him, it was supposed to be one night, no strings, no regrets. He wasn’t from around here, so why overthink it? I’d lose myself in him for a fleeting moment and move on. Easy. Or so I thought. Fate had other plans. When we came face-to-face again, avoiding him wasn’t an option. Not only did he actually live in Rose Valley, the same smalltown as me, but he was also a doctor at the same hospital—and, of all places, in my department. It seems fate has a wicked sense of humor. James isn’t making it easy, either. He’s always there—close enough to feel his presence, his intensity, his relentless charm. That one unforgettable night we shared replays in my mind on an endless loop, and the walls I’ve spent years building suddenly feel paper-thin. Can I hold my ground, or will he shatter my defenses, piece by piece? One thing’s for James isn’t just in my life no—he’s in my head, and maybe, just maybe, in my heart. This is the second installment in the Nurses of Rose Valley but is an interconnected standalone. It's recommended to read the first book but not necessary.
