Touch and Gone — Jennifer Hanes

Internship is always tough, but one in emergency medicine is downright grueling. The breakneck pace combined with around the clock shifts drains Tori Taggert during this first year after medical school. Her male peers outnumber her ten to one and target her flaws while maximizing the sexual tension. Just when she thinks she can no longer handle the pressure "like a man" she finds herself in the arms of a forbidden lover, Dr. Jack Forester. As the Chief of Trauma Surgery, Jack helps Tori navigate a career in which she is learning to hold the lives of others in her hands. She feels safe and happy when with him but wonders what he is hiding behind the flower bouquets and private dining excursions. Can she trust him? Can she trust herself? In the contest of logic versus love, can there ever be a winner? The heart pumping drama and the gut wrenching emotions will make you feel like an integral member of the medical team. This is your all access pass behind the stethoscope, where a resident learns it is easier to break hearts than it is to mend them.
