Fourteen Kind Hearts

Ella Kind is already an established cardiothoracic, neurosurgery, and trauma surgeon at twenty-two, but brilliance has never made relationships with men any simpler.

After moving in with her father at six, she grew up inside a close, loving family that expanded through both ordinary births and long-held secrets.

Catching her boyfriend with someone else in a hospital on-call room ends her trust, and she decides she is done with men, doctors most of all.

Then Dr. Graham Malone transfers from New York to Cedars-Sinai, a ruggedly handsome pediatrician starting a fellowship in pediatric surgery, and Ella falls for him despite every reason to keep her distance.

Graham knows the PTSD tied to his father's death still governs him, yet he would rather sabotage love than look weak, and Ella cannot tell whether he will let her through the walls he refuses to admit are there.
