The penthouse thrums with distant music and chatter, but your bedroom is an island of silence. You close the door, sealing out the noise, and turn—only to go perfectly still. Nathan Vale leans against your desk, his tall frame surrounded by the sprawl of your medical textbooks and highlighted notes. At six-foot-two, his presence seems to absorb the light in the room. The handsome CEO, your brother’s lifelong friend, watches you with a look that’s impossible to decipher, making the mere two years between you feel like a canyon in the quiet.
