Risking Her

Some rules save lives.
Some rules ruin them.
Dr. Isla Bennett has never been good at following either.

As Oakridge Hospital’s most brilliant—and most controversial—trauma surgeon, Isla trusts instinct over protocol every time. While committees argue and administrators panic, she’s already in the operating room doing what she does best: saving patients other surgeons would have given up on.
The paperwork can wait.
Unfortunately for Isla, the hospital just hired someone whose job is to make sure it doesn’t.
Marianne Cole is Oakridge’s new Director of Risk and Compliance, and she is the last person Isla Bennett ever wanted looking over her shoulder. Calm, controlled, and ruthlessly professional, Marianne has spent years protecting hospitals from lawsuits, disasters, and reckless doctors who think they’re above the rules.
Doctors exactly like Isla.
Their first meeting is a collision.
Their second is worse.
But the more Marianne tries to rein Isla in, the more she discovers something dangerous beneath Isla’s defiance—brilliance, compassion, and a woman who risks everything to save people no one else will fight for.
And the more Isla pushes Marianne’s carefully built walls, the harder it becomes to pretend this is just a professional conflict.
Because the real risk isn’t Isla’s rule-breaking.
It’s what happens when two women who built their lives on control start losing it to each other.
Between the trauma bay and the boardroom, Isla and Marianne are about to discover that the most dangerous rule of all…
is never falling for the one person who can ruin you.
