BROOKS I've made a name for myself as one of the best sports medicine doctors in the country. I have a thriving practice and a handful of awards that say I'm an excellent surgeon without getting attached to my patients. That all changed when a seventeen-year-old Olympic snowboarder walked into my office, brushing off injuries that would have put anyone else on their ass. I wanted to protect her, to fight for her, and for three years, that was enough. Until suddenly, it wasn't. Now, all I want is to make her mine. DELTA I'm positive I'm not the only one of his patients with a crush on Dr. Brooks Harrison . He's just doing his job, but sometimes I think he's the only person in my life looking out for me , not just my ability to slide down a mountain with a snowboard strapped to my feet. I should be more worried about my career circling the drain, but as I start spending more time with Doctor Harrison, I'm forced to wonder if snowboarding is what I really want. He makes me feel better than winning a gold medal ever did, and if I was able to do that, maybe I can convince the stubborn doctor to want me too. In Pieces is a forbidden, age gap, doctor-patient romance about Olympic snowboarder Delta and the orthopedic surgeon who would do anything for her, Brooks. No cheating, HEA, a dash of family drama, and heaps of spice guaranteed!
