(The third book in the St. Jude's Medical series)
A novel by

 
 
The Ice King. The Trauma Cowboy. And a wedding so disastrous it is going to require a surgical team to save the reception.

Maxwell York lives his life by a strict, six-page, colour-coded protocol. As a world-class cardiac surgeon, his "Standard of Care" is more than a professional code: it is the only way he can navigate a world that has always been too loud, too fast, and too bright. But when his mother, Catherine, turns his wedding into a royal coronation, Max's carefully maintained mask begins to crack, and what surfaces underneath is a truth about his childhood that was never supposed to see the light.

Jax O'Connell is used to the noise. Between his years as an Afghanistan war medic and his current role as Chief of Trauma, he has built a life on hyper-vigilance and split-second decisions. He knows his fiancé is not cold: he is just calibrated differently. But the echoes of a war that never quite stopped are getting louder, and Jax is starting to wonder if eloping is the only way to keep them both from flatlining.

They are an established couple who have already survived everything except the wedding. Now, as the scrubs-and-duct-tape world of the ER collides with old-money Manhattan and the meddling families close in from both sides, a long-buried secret threatens to blow the York legacy wide open. Max's father is acting strange. Catherine is acting stranger. And the found family forged in the trenches of St. Jude's may be the only thing standing between the merger of the century and a mass casualty event for the social elite.

Return to St. Jude's Medical for the hilariously high-stakes third installment of the York Medical Series. Wedding Manneris a steamy, Own Voices MM romantic comedy featuring a neurodivergent surgeon unmasking his truth, a veteran managing the echoes of war, and a happy ending that is strictly off-protocol.
