Pulse Line - eBook
He lives by the book. She writes her own rules. When a city-wide crisis hits, their only hope is to find a rhythm together.
Paramedic Priya Patel thrives in chaos. On the streets of Harbor Ridge, she’s a master of improvisation, saving lives with skill, humor, and a blatant disregard for rules that don’t work in the real world. Her ambulance is her kingdom, and her patients are her priority. She doesn’t have time for arrogant new doctors who think a protocol can save a person’s soul.
Dr. Ethan Cross is a man of order. After a devastating loss in a Detroit ER, he’s come to Harbor Ridge to rebuild his life around one principle: control. He creates systems, builds rails, and demands that protocol be followed to the letter. He sees Priya as a rogue agent, a brilliant but dangerously impulsive paramedic who threatens the very order he needs to keep his patients—and his own fractured heart—safe.
Their clash is immediate and electric, a battle of wills fought over gurneys and radio channels. But when a sudden power outage throws the entire hospital into darkness during a mass-casualty incident, Ethan and Priya are forced to rely on each other. With the city in chaos and lives hanging in the balance, they must find a middle ground between his rails and her floods.
As they work to save their city, the line between professional friction and personal connection blurs into a pulse line of its own. Can two people who see the world so differently trust each other enough to save lives, and brave enough to save themselves?
Pulse Line is the third and final book in the Night Shift Hearts series, an emotional, steamy romance about finding partnership in the heart of the storm. It can be read as a standalone.
