Joy Rodriguez joins St. Aldric’s Hospital as an intern determined to build her future — and bury her past. But the moment she meets the cold, unreadable Dr. Martin Sanchez, everything becomes complicated.

Because Martin doesn’t know the truth.

Years ago, his family destroyed hers.

Forced to hide her identity while working under the grandson of the man she blames, Joy walks a dangerous line between revenge and the feelings she never planned to have. The closer she gets to uncovering the secrets behind her mother’s death, the harder it becomes to ignore the man who makes her feel safe in the middle of a storm.

And Martin…

For the first time in his controlled life, a woman unsettles him — one who looks at him like she fears him, yet stays anyway

.

Secrets will surface.

Trust will burn.

And when the truth comes out… love may not survive the ashes.

Hey am Joyline M. Rodriguez and am here about the internship program I was to start today. A minute please, sir the girl has arrived, what girl Maggie? The one about the internship program. Ooh send her up to my office.If you may follow me this way please. U'll be interning under Dr. Sanchez, his big on punctuality and efficiency in your work be sure not to be on his raider and mess things up coz his gonna be difficult. ( Knocking at the door). Come in. Sir this is miss Rodriguez here's her file, thanks Maggie you may leave. Miss Rodriguez is it? Yes sir, I can see you graduated from Mellow university not bad it's quite a prestigious school, I actually found it rude that he was facing the window and was not talking to me face to face I was still standing since he had not yet offered me a sit. I began zoning out and looking around his office it was quite elegant and huge for one person but I kept that thought for myself since it was none of my business and it wasn't in my place to spot out the obvious. I was engrossed in reading the resume when I turned to look at the owner of the outstanding resume I felt some as blood rushed through my body coz tell me whey did her body seam so inviting and intriguing she wore a suit that hugged her curves so nicely and she looked so elegant and as she turned to face me I almost felt my throat dry up she had her black curly hair tied up in a bun a messy one at that and her hazel green eyes were so drawing and so hypnotic she was standing there staring at me. When I was done looking around I turned to face Dr. Sanchez since he had stop talking and to my surprise he had turned and was facing me now he had this deep blue eyes they were the most deep blue eyes I have ever seen I know it was rude of me but my eyes began to travel down he was wearing a button up shirt and the first three buttons were opened giving view to his chest my eyes didn't travel further I didn't want to seem as a creep and since he was staring decided to stare back. Sorry, where are my manners please have a sit. My thoughts at the moment finally he offered me a sit. As I was saying ur resume is very impressive I'll have you sign this confidentiality form just for precautions, if you may just sign here, here and here. Thank you. I assume you were told u'll be working under my supervision? Yes sir I was informed. You can call me Martin, No thank you Dr. Sanchez will do just fine. Ok Joyce. Hello Maggie can you come to my office. (Maggie knocking) Come in. Sir, Maggie kindly show miss Rodriguez to the locker room have her change into her uniform and meet me in ward room no 240. Miss Rodriguez this way please. Maggie right? Yes. You can just me joy, ok joy this way please. Thanks sir. Joy this is ladies locker room and this is your locker when ur done meet me outside. I changed into the blue uniform and I headed out. Here's room 240 I'll be at my desk if you need me. Thank Maggie. As I entered the room I saw Dr. Sanchez in the room here let me introduce you to this is my lovely patient Monic. You flatter me so much doc. Whose this beautiful lady. You can call me Joy ma'am. Monic call me Monic ma'am makes me feel too old. Ok Monic. Miss Rodriguez you'll be in charge of checking her vitals and also patient care and if there's change no matter how small u report to me understood? yes sir. Now come with me, Monic I'll be back to check on you. I couldn't get this guy one minute he was so gentle while talking to me in his office and also as he spoke to Maggie and Monic but now he's so cold towards me could it be something that I did wrong. He was complicated and so hard to read. Once we got to his office he had me sit down and handed me a stack of paper which he had me go through. I don't know what came over me she had everyone in the hospital calling her Joy but not me no Miss Rodriguez she says so be it if she wants formality then I'll give her formal no more Mr nice guy our relationship will strictly professional but I couldn't deny she had this effect on me. The files I have handed to you are of my current patients go through them and you can officially begin tomorrow but if you like you can stay and familiarize yourself with the hospital. Sir where can I sit and go through all this documents? If u'll like u can sit at the far corner of my office on that couch over there. Sure why not thank you sir. Now why did I ask her to stay how am I going to concentrate when her smell Intoxicates me, delicious she smells like vanilla. Why did I agree to go through this files while still in his office I guess I want to watch him as he works coz I can't get enough of this view 😊him I mean.
