"So what's the deal with this new doctor we're getting?"
The sound of one of their junior doctors popping up right behind them without warning would have made any other doctor jump out of their skin. For Tara Hunter, Dr. Phelps's penchant for appearing without making a sound was a daily occurrence. By now, she barely batted an eyelid at the sound of his voice.
Phelps was the third person today to make a comment about the recent addition to the ER staff, Tara noted as she signed off another patient to be discharged. The first time she heard about a newly hired doctor was in the hallway as she'd started her shift, but she was in a rush to get to the department, so she didn't have time to stop and chat. The second time was when one of the nurses had been discussing it, but they'd had a cardiac arrest come through the doors before she could ask anything more about it.
"Okay, I'll bite." She handed off the discharge papers to the nurse behind the front desk, slipping her pen back into the pocket of her white coat. She was only halfway through what had turned out to be an exhausting shift, and while the matter of the new locum wasn't the first thing on her mind, it was a nagging concern. "Who's the locum?"
Phelps, who'd tailed her to the front desk, talking absentmindedly about the newest addition to the team, stopped in his tracks. "You haven't heard?"
"If I had, I probably wouldn't have asked," she pointed out, folding her arms. There was an icy bite to her tone that she couldn't quite keep out of her voice, even though she knew it wasn't fair. After all, it wasn't exactly Phelps's fault that she hadn't been told about the new doctor.
"All I know is we're getting a locum. Hired out from another hospital."
Tara paused, suspicious. They hadn't had a new hire in a painfully long time; all of her begging for another doctor on the team had fallen on deaf ears, no matter how overworked her staff were becoming. Every plea she'd made had met the same response: a new doctor for the emergency department simply wasn't in the budget. What had changed?
"Which hospital?"
"St. Jude's, I think the nurses said."
"St. Jude's?" Tara echoed, reaching for her phone as she felt it buzz in her pocket. "Who'd transfer from St. Jude's to here?"
"That's what I thought." Phelps shrugged, shoving his hands deep into his pockets. "I thought you were the one that hired her."
"Well, I didn't," Tara muttered darkly. She knew exactly who had gone over her head and hired a new doctor to the department without even consulting her first—there was only one person in the hospital who could do that.
Phelps recognised that look. Although he'd only worked in City General ER for a year, he'd seen that look enough times to know exactly what was about to happen: someone was about to get yelled at. "Do no harm."
"What?"
"Just reminding you of the oath you took when you became a doctor." He grinned at her brightly. "In case you were thinking of killing someone today."

Dr. Tara Hunter runs her Emergency Department with precision and control, just like she manages every aspect of her life. But when free-spirited new doctor Gabby Ellis bursts into her ER riding an ambulance while performing CPR, Tara's carefully ordered world begins to unravel.
Despite their instant professional friction, there's an undeniable spark between them that neither can ignore. As their relationship deepens, Tara finds herself questioning everything - her identity, her priorities, and whether protecting her reputation is worth sacrificing a chance at true happiness.
