Burned by the Boss

Dr. Sloane Okonkwo has spent four years proving Adrian Corde wrong. Now he's her boss, he's brilliant, and he's impossible — right up until his father is wheeled into her trauma bay with a bullet in his chest and a family name that explains everything. Adrian saves his father's life on the table. Sloane sees what no one else is supposed to see. Then his brother shows up in the parking garage with an envelope, and Adrian fires her to keep her out of it. Sloane doesn't stay out of it. She shows up at his apartment with the charts. She shows up at the family's hospital when the second shooting starts. She holds an artery shut with one hand while Adrian's brother screams at her over the bed. And at the end of it, the only thing Adrian has left to give her is the one thing he's never given anyone: his name off the family table.
