"I don't have a heart. I have a surgical pump. And it only beats for her."
Dr. Julian Vane is the "Ice King" of Vane Memorial. A world-class surgeon with a lethal tongue and zero patience for chaos, his life is a masterpiece of clinical perfection. He doesn't do feelings, he doesn't do "soft," and he certainly doesn't do distractions.
Then Sophie Miller crashes into his ER.
A curvy preschool teacher covered in glitter and smelling of vanilla, Sophie is a walking biohazard to Julian’s sanity. She’s messy, she’s sunshine, and she’s exactly what he never knew he needed.
What starts as a routine procedure becomes a dark, obsessive fixation. Julian doesn't just want to protect her; he wants to own her world. From "prescribing" her a room in his penthouse to "auditing" her life for safety risks, his protection is as suffocating as it is addictive.
But Julian isn't the only wolf in the city. As the Vane family legacy of obsession takes hold, the doctor must decide: Will he let his sunshine fly free, or will he lock her in his sterile cage forever?
