Dr. Daniel Floria grew up in hospital corridors, trailing behind the one person he never stopped trying to impress: his mother, a brilliant physician who raised him alone, against every reason the world gave her not to. Years later they are famous colleagues, bickering over crosswords and burnt toast, and chasing something no one has managed before: a way to end disease itself. But the work is expensive, the money is running out, and a patient, charming investor is willing to pay for everything they need. All he asks for is one thing they would never have sold. What follows is a single night of argument between two people who love each other more than anything, each certain they are protecting the other. By the end of it, a choice has been made that neither can take back, and the consequences spread far beyond that room. A story about love, ambition, and the quiet ways we talk ourselves into things. It begins with a mother's courage, and it ends with a question the reader will carry back to the first page.

He loved her with everything he had. That was the problem. Elias Marsh checks facts for a living. He has never been good at feelings. Then his best friend Jonah Vale, the man who turned up in a yellow raincoat and changed his life, vanishes without a word. Five months later, Jonah’s mother begs Elias to find him. His only lead is a single set of initials in a dusty ledger: M.A. M.A. is Marin Ashby, the girlfriend Jonah never mentioned. She drowned in a flood last October, together with another man, Ansel Brandt. Following the trail, Elias steps into a love story he never knew existed. He sees Jonah and Marin fall for each other over a flooded piano and Thursday dinners. Then Ansel walks into their lives, quiet and kind, and Marin starts noticing things she never planned to notice. She loves Jonah and she can’t stop looking at Ansel. Jonah, terrified of losing her, tries to hold on tighter and tighter. Every sweet gesture tightens the grip. Elias wants the truth about his friend. But the closer he gets, the more he learns about the man he thought he knew. And when he finally finds Jonah, he has to decide what the truth is worth. A slow-burn love triangle, a tender friendship and a mystery that keeps its secrets until the last page. Some people love you right. Some love you wrong.
