Publisher's Synopsis
Dr. Rylie Hart is a dedicated and compassionate surgeon working tirelessly to save lives within the confines of the medical world's ethical boundaries. But when she encounters a mysterious and skilled underground surgeon known only as "E," her life takes a dark and irreversible turn. E's charisma and twisted sense of justice begin to erode Rylie's resistance. He views himself as a modern-day Robin Hood, stealing organs from the dead to give to the dying, justifying his actions as necessary in a broken system. His obsession with Rylie grows, manifesting in increasingly invasive ways-he enters her home, leaves her cryptic gifts, and visits her regularly, forcing her to confront her feelings for him. After assisting in a highly illegal and morally dubious organ transplant, Rylie is haunted by the experience. She's torn between her medical oath and the life-saving work she's witnessed-work that operates outside the law but offers hope to those who would otherwise die waiting for a donor. As she grapples with her guilt and confusion, she discovers that "E" is not just a faceless figure in the shadows but a man who has been watching her, obsessing over her, and meticulously drawing her into his world.
