About this listen

A lesbian medical romance about the powerful breakthroughs we can't always see.

Nadia Keating has barely started her cardiothoracic fellowship training, but she already has the archetype nailed - she's direct, uncompromising, and suffering from a God complex.

Before she can focus on her impressive research, deeply closeted Nadia has a personal project: getting her inconvenient attraction to women out of her system. She picks a stranger online for a one-night stand.

Ashley Rylan, the chief of Nadia's department, is her polar opposite - sweet, agreeable, and soft-spoken - and the stranger Nadia unwittingly chooses.

The two women's meeting is a hostile disaster, and they would love nothing more than to never see each other again. However, their paths keep colliding as Nadia embarks on an ambitious experiment that could lead to a historic medical breakthrough.

Despite warring egos and the secrets they keep, their connection is powerful and growing. Maybe having sex would help them get over their distraction at work? Or would that just ruin everything?

Contains mature themes.

Abby Craden

I really enjoyed this and I believe only chose it as it was a freebie on audible and was read by Abby Craden and so glad I did.
I love a hospital-based story and this did not disappoint. I liked the references to procedures and Nobel prize winners and the evolution of medicine (whether it was factually accurate or not).

Read/ listen to this. You won't regret it! 🩺🫀

This is my first Faith Prize book and despite the angst (not usually my thing), this book kept me engaged and wanting more!
I loved the medical theme, I learned so much and found it fascinating! 🩻🫁

Nadia is multi-layered, fractured (aren’t we all?!) emotionally detached, and totally addictive. Her razor-sharp mind and need to be right is intense and frustrating at times but never feels false or overdone. Her journey and growth is profound.

Ashley had my heart though, I could picture her so clearly! She was the warmth in this story.

I will look out for more from this author, Abby Craden is IN-credible (as per).

Brilliant

I really enjoyed this title and listened for hours on end... reluctantly paused, to only look forward to starting again... such a talented author... Faith kept me engaged with her writing... these characters had my interest and sent my imagination on quite the journey... I look forward to another opportunity where I am able to lose myself in her talented writings once more...

Abby Craden.... another perfectly narrated story as always...

Worth the credit xxx

It was a very good book that would've earned 5 stars if it' hadn't been rammed full of medical terms. Abby as usual does an excellent job but there's only so much you can stand with hours of medical terms. If you can block out much of it then the story line and narration is 5 stars 🌟
