The Pitt meets Every Summer After in this epic love story following what begins as a summer rivalry between two science students that turns into "a heartbreaking beautiful story about love, hope, and second chances." (Kate Dramis)

"No matter how dark things feel, it is always worth seeing where the rest of the story goes..."

Studious, straitlaced Ruhi Akula is off to spend the summer at a national science competition. There, she meets Devon Dalton, the hotshot scion of medical royalty. In the balmy nights that follow, as the two continually challenge each other over first rank, something life changing unfolds...

Until the next summer, when it all blows apart.

Five years later, Ruhi has one goal in mind -blaze through med school and change the face of medicine. Ever since her best friend's cancer diagnosis, she's not going to let anything derail her. But on day one, she walks straight into Devon Dalton once more. As their carefully set boundaries between them begin to dissolve, they must come to grips with what broke between them, even if it means revealing devastating truths.

They say you can't outrun your past, and Ruhi has too much on the line not to try. But as the most startling and charged events unfold, Ruhi must learn how to find a way forward when all hope seems lost, and discover that love may be worth more than the sum of its tragic parts.

"A love letter to medicine, to first loves and friendship, and the pursuit of our passion and dreams...[a] tender and bone-deep romance." - Amelie Rhys
