Recipe for Disaster
(2026)The Widowed Doctor's Baby
(The first book in the Hearts on Call series)
A novel by Jéssica Macedo
Leonardo Vasconcelos has always known how to run an operating room, lead a medical team, and control every detail of his own life. That is, until he loses his wife during childbirth and returns to São Gabriel Hospital carrying his newborn daughter—and a grief he has no idea how to survive.
What he doesn’t expect is to cross paths with Beatriz Müller again—the brilliant pediatrician he once loved and abandoned when she was still a resident. Five years later, Beatriz is no longer the young woman willing to settle for crumbs or accept decisions made on her behalf. She has built her own career, learned to live without Leonardo, and has no intention of letting his grief turn her heart into a temporary refuge.
But as little Helena gradually brings them closer, old feelings resurface. Amid long shifts, medical emergencies, sleepless nights, and a desire that never completely faded, Leonardo must learn that loving someone doesn’t mean protecting her from her own choices. It means allowing her to be part of the decisions that affect them both.
Beatriz must decide whether she can trust the man who broke her heart—especially when she realizes that falling in love with his daughter may be just as dangerous as falling for him all over again.
Genre: Romance
