Lena McKay is a young ER nurse with a past she’s spent years trying to outrun. When she’s unexpectedly called to a crime scene, fate places her in the path of Anne — a pregnant woman and the wife of a wealthy businessman — who has been brutally shot. In the frantic moments that follow, Lena forms an instant, unexplainable connection with Anne, unaware that this encounter will alter the course of her life.
At the hospital, Lena refuses to leave Anne’s side and soon meets the Armstrong brothers: Justin, whose quiet strength and genuine heart draw her in, and Luke, whose dangerous edge is as magnetic as it is unsettling. They may share the same striking looks, but their souls couldn’t be more different.
As Anne’s condition worsens, Lena becomes Justin’s anchor in the darkness, even as her feelings for him deepen. But Luke’s presence pulls at her in a way she can’t ignore — a temptation wrapped in shadows, promising passion and peril in equal measure.
Caught between a man devoted to a wife he can’t let go of and another who could destroy her, Lena is forced to confront her past, her desires, and the future she never dared imagine.

Nina Chrisnik writes under a pen name, but her love for dramatic, heartfelt storytelling has been with her since childhood. Growing up glued to the soap operas she adored, she learned early how to spot a twist, savor a slow‑burn romance, and fall for characters who felt like family. Life led her into a successful marketing career, yet the dream of writing stories filled with longing, tension, and emotional payoff never faded. Inspired by the rise of new voices in romance, she finally gave in to her imagination and began crafting a three‑part series that dives deep into the messy, beautiful, irresistible lives of her fictional characters.
Nina is a married mother of three, and her youngest child has Down syndrome — a role that has made her fiercely connected to her community and deeply attuned to the power of love in all its forms. When she’s not writing, she’s cheering on her favorite sports teams, doting on her animals, or indulging in the kind of romantic drama that first sparked her passion for storytelling. Her books carry the same heart she brings to her everyday life: hope, resilience, and the belief that everyone deserves a love story worth rooting for.
