They should both walk away, but neither of them can.

It took everything for Noah to leave her husband Levi and his dirty mistress: surgery. One year later, the pressure of raising their son and building her own career is breaking her. It doesn’t help that every time she sees Levi, his touch and presence bring those old feelings racing back, until she shuts them down. She’ll never let Levi hurt her again—or their son.

Levi saves other people’s children every day, but he couldn’t save his marriage. Noah left him alone in an empty house and a hole in his heart, with only surgery to keep him going. In order to numb some of the pain she left him in, he decides to sell what used to be their home, but it’s not enough. When two apartments open up, Levi seizes the chance to move upstairs from Noah. He’ll show her that he can be a real father to their son, and prove he’s still the man she fell in love with.

As long as Levi is a doctor, there will always be an emergency taking him away from his family. Guilt is playing tug-o-war with his heart while Noah is strengthening the walls around hers. If Levi can’t walk away from his addiction to work, Noah will walk away forever.
