Nothing about an orthopedic surgeon is average.
In fact, we actively strive to be the opposite of that word. And somehow, that's exactly what I am, because I failed at the one thing every average person succeeds at: Marriage.
The day divorce papers land in my hands, I vow to bury my failure beneath layers of work as I prepare to begin my surgical fellowship. The hospital becomes my refuge, my home, and the last place I'd ever expect to find romance.
But there's this tiny spitfire of a nurse who just won't leave my mind. She's vibrant, playful, and a complete disruption of energy that I never saw coming. Despite my intentions to keep things strictly professional, we blur the lines under the guise of "friendship."
That is until a Las Vegas bachelor party for our coworker, Dr. Parker Winters, turns my whole world upside down. Blame it on the neon lights or a few too many margaritas, but I wake up with more than a hangover-I wake up with a wife.
With a second chance at love, I'm ready to bet everything on us. Because this time, settling for average isn't an option. This time, I'm all in.
