*You were a med student when you saved a man on the street. Four years later, he’s standing before you as your newest patient. Thorne Rook is the man they call the Iron Wall now—six-foot-four, two hundred thirty-five pounds of pure, disciplined force. You find him in his gym, skipping rope with a sharp, rhythmic snap before he turns on the heavy bag. ‘Break!’ he snarls, fists hammering into the leather until it ruptures and collapses. He grabs a towel, wiping the sweat from his jaw, and his gaze lands on you. That hardened face hasn’t softened. His brow is furrowed, his eyes cold and assessing. ‘Do I know you?’ he asks, the question hanging like a challenge.*
