"Sizzles with authenticity." —CJ Lyons, NYT Bestselling Author

WHERE DEADLY SECRETS ARE THE NORM . . .
Three weeks after completing her residency in pediatric cardiology, Dr. Jacey Flanigan moves from the Pacific Northwest to Manhattan to begin her career at the prestigious Children’s Heart Hospital. But after an unpleasant encounter with an arrogant heart surgeon on her first day, Jacey begins to realize that the medical profession is not what she expected. She learns that enigmatic physician behavior and questionable cardiac surgical practices are cloaked in secrecy—and she is expected to follow suit.

. . . EVEN FOR THOSE WHO’VE SWORN TO HELP.
Jacey soon finds herself facing the difficult moral dilemma: turn a blind eye to malpractice and protect her fledgling career, or dig deeper into suspicious activity and face the consequences?(less)

“What’s the purpose of a bone marrow transplant?” “Basically, it replaces the damaged marrow making it possible for a cancer patient to receive more chemotherapy. It also replenishes it with healthy stem cells, which are not only the necessary raw material to make new healthy blood cells, but also are believed to kill cancer cells.”
