Abandoned and shamed, Ama built a life from nothing, her daughter's tiny hand the only anchor in a world that tried to break her. She fought through hunger, exhaustion, and the crushing weight of judgment to become a nurse, vowing to protect her scarred heart from any man who dared to approach. But when a new, foreign doctor arrives at the hospital, his presence threatens to dismantle the carefully constructed walls around her. He's experienced, intriguing, and utterly unlike anyone she's ever known, forcing Ama to confront the possibility that some hearts, no matter how guarded, are destined for an unrehearsed beat. Can she risk everything she's built for a love she never thought she'd find, or will her past forever dictate her future?
