FLATLINE: PULSE BOOK 1
Her hands have repaired two thousand hearts. No one has ever touched hers.
Dr. Isabelle Marchand is the best cardiac surgeon at the Centre Hospitalier Saint-Laurent. Precise. Controlled. Untouchable. She lost a seven-year-old patient on her operating table six years ago, and she's spent every day since building walls no one can breach. No attachments. No distractions. No weakness.
Ethan Cole is a paramedic who works the night shift. Calm in the chaos. Direct when it counts. He brings patients to Isabelle's hospital and watches her work with the quiet respect of an equal — not the intimidated reverence of an intern. He's seen as much death as she has. He just chose not to let it freeze him.
When Ethan refuses to leave the hospital after delivering his elderly neighbor to Isabelle's care, their worlds collide. He sees through her armor with a precision she hasn't allowed anyone in years. She sees in him something she'd stopped believing existed — a man who stays.
But the hospital has rules. And Isabelle has spent a lifetime following them.
Flatline is the first book in the PULSE series — a steamy medical romance set in Montréal with dual POV, a fierce heroine, a hero who won't back down, and a love story that proves the strongest hearts are the ones that choose to open.
enemies-to-lovers, forbidden workplace romance, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity
Content open-door steamy scenes, emotionally intense themes, hospital setting. Standalone with HEA.

I didn’t hate it. I didn’t love it. It was the first book written in third person I actually didn’t hate. The story was ok I just wanted more.
