The Bridge Holds

 A grieving nurse. A lonely billionaire. One connection raw enough to make them feel alive again. 

Emma is a trauma nurse numbing herself through endless shifts and quiet grief after her mother’s death. Purpose keeps her standing—but she isn’t alive anymore. 

Until Marcus. 

Wealthy, controlled, and devastatingly lonely, Marcus has built a fortress of luxury to keep the world out. One night at a bar shatters it. The attraction between them is instant, consuming, and impossible to ignore. With him, Emma’s body wakes up first—raw, desperate, real. With her, Marcus is finally seen as more than his money. 

What starts as a scorching affair turns into something far more dangerous: connection. 

But chemistry can’t erase reality. Emma’s paycheck-to-paycheck life collides with Marcus’s sprawling estate. Old insecurities surface. An ex threatens their fragile balance. When a hospital crisis breaks Emma open, walking away feels safer than staying. 

Marcus must prove love isn’t possession.

Emma must decide if she’s brave enough to feel again. 

Because choosing each other means risking everything—and finally living. 

An emotionally intense, high-heat billionaire romance with a guaranteed HEA. 

For readers who love emotionally wrecking, high-heat romances where love doesn’t save—you choose it anyway.
