THE CLINICAL PULSE - A WLW Suspense Romance Novel

Five years ago, we crashed. Now, a chaotic mass casualty emergency is forcing us back into the same cockpit.

Dr. Chloe Vance is St. Jude's most brilliant, uncompromising trauma surgeon. She survives the brutal reality of the ER by building an impenetrable wall of clinical distance, keeping her emotions locked tight. She has her career mapped out perfectly-until a sudden crisis forces her onto the heliport, shattering her carefully constructed armor.

Captain Paige Miller is an elite LifeFlight pilot, a rebellious adrenaline junkie, and the only woman who ever broke Chloe's heart. They haven't spoken a single word since their messy breakup five years ago.

When a catastrophic mountain collapse triggers a massive emergency, Chloe is forced into the sky with her ex. Trapped together inside the cramped, vibrating cockpit of a medical helicopter during a violent storm, the suffocating physical proximity forces five years of hidden longing and unresolved history straight to the surface.

The rules of the rescue mission are simple: Save lives. Keep it professional. Leave the past on the tarmac.

But on the remote, dangerous terrain of a disaster zone, an aftershock traps them inside a collapsing field tent, exploding their old chemistry into an undeniable, high-heat reality. When a vindictive hospital administrator launches an inquiry to strip Paige of her wings, Chloe faces a brutal choice: sign a compliance statement blaming Paige to secure her dream department promotion, or decline advancement to save the woman she never stopped loving.

The Clinical Pulse is Book 2 in the Ambition Series: Surgical Hearts. It is a standalone, high-heat, second-chance lesbian / WLW medical romance featuring an alpha trauma doctor, an elite first-responder pilot, intense forced proximity, and a hard-won happily-ever-after.
