Tender Diagnosis: a medical romance novel by Mari Barnett

Love becomes the riskiest prescription in the sterile halls of a bustling hospital.
Dr. Benjamin Carter had sacrificed it all for medicine-his marriage, happiness, and even his heart. As a divorced surgeon with a trail of regrets, he thought his past was buried deep, until fate led him back to the same hospital where his choices tore his life apart.
Ava, the head nurse with a heart sealed off from pain, had her own reasons to avoid love. After a string of heartbreaks, she'd sworn off men entirely. But when she discovers that the man who operated on her father is the enigmatic Dr. Carter, sparks ignite, threatening to unravel the carefully constructed walls around her heart.
Bound by their shared secrets and a forbidden attraction, Benjamin and Ava find themselves dancing on the edge of professionalism and passion. They know the risks but cannot resist the magnetic pull between them.
As they navigate the treacherous waters of an off-limits romance, they'll confront their pasts, heal their wounds, and discover that love can be a balm for even the deepest scars. But when hidden truths come to light, will their budding relationship survive the ultimate test?
In this age-gap medical romance, Benjamin and Ava will learn that sometimes, the heartache of love is worth the risk. VISIT OUR BOOKSHELF AT www.authormariabarnett.com
