Doctor Temptation: A Best Friend's Brother Age Gap Slow Burn Forbidden Romance
"Dr. Elena Vasquez. Paired with Dr. Nathan Calloway."
The room kept moving. People kept nodding. I stopped hearing anything at all. đ©ș
I arrive forty minutes before my shift starts. I catch the potassium level the night resident missed. I sit in the middle of every room, because the front reads as eager and the back reads as checked out, and the middle is invisible.
I have given this hospital everything.
It has never once looked back.
Nate Calloway is Chief of Surgery. Forty-three years old. The most decorated surgeon at St. Marcus and possibly in the city. Junior residents straighten their spines when he enters a room, and people say his name in a tone somewhere between awe and fear.
I know one other thing about him that nobody in that conference room knows.
He is Mara's brother.
My best friend's brother. Three months of mandatory mentorship. One call room, one late shift, one moment where he pulled back and went cold and then came and apologised for it in a voice I had never heard him use.
Then I said his name, and I kissed him, and every rule he has ever held sat between us for exactly one second before he let them all go. đ„
I was never here to be noticed.
I was here to be good.
He noticed anyway.
