Worth The Risk: Book 3 - Personal Best
Avery Quinn has a she doesn't date patients.
Beck Halloran isn't technically hers. He's three years, and one failed comeback into a UCL revision that everyone in the building except him has already stopped believing in — Priya's patient, not Avery's — which is the only reason he gets away with flirting with her in the waiting room like it's a sport he's actually good at. She tells him the rule anyway. He points out, correctly, that it doesn't apply to him. She tells him she'd probably get fired regardless. He leaves her a note on his way "I'm worth the risk."
She decides he is.
What starts as one reckless, unhurried night turns into the first relationship of Avery's life where she has to learn someone from scratch instead of leaning on what already worked. When Beck's comeback ends for good — quietly, without ceremony, the way careers actually end — he doesn't need space to grieve alone. He needs to be chased. Avery gets that wrong once, badly, applying a hard-won lesson to the wrong man at the wrong moment, and has to come back from it the only way she knows by owning the mistake plainly, instead of explaining it away.
What she finds on the other side of that fight is a man worth staying for — and, for the first time in her life, a version of herself who doesn't have to prove she's worth staying for too.
'Worth the Risk' is Book Three in 'Personal Best', a five-book series following one woman, Avery Quinn, across career, love, and the whole unpredictable distance of an adult life — from her college track scholarship to the marriage, motherhood, and the marathon still waiting for her at the finish line. Each book stands complete on its own. This is the one where somebody finally stays.
Contains mature themes (career-ending injury, grief) and explicit content intended for adult readers 18+.
