Breaking Point

The Critical Heat Series, Book 2

By Stormi Morgan

Dr. Riley Shaw doesn’t lose.

Not in the operating theatre, not in competition, and definitely not when her future is on the line. As Head of Cardiology at Park Side General, she’s spent years fighting for the Chief of Medicine role. The position is her legacy… and she’ll do anything to secure it.

Dr. Lauren Hayes is Riley’s opposite in every way. Calm where Riley is fiery, methodical where Riley is impulsive. She’s respected, composed, and infuriatingly unshakeable. And now? She’s the one person Riley has to work with.

When the hospital assigns them as co-leads of a new cardiac emergency unit, their rivalry becomes impossible to ignore. Their arguments spark fire. Their teamwork sparks something far more dangerous. And one explosive night proves the tension between them isn’t hatred —it’s heat.

But everything shatters when Riley discovers Lauren is secretly applying for the same promotion in silence.
Betrayal cuts deeper than competition ever could.

Silence becomes their new battleground until a life-or-death situation forces them together again, and the walls between them finally break.

Now they face the hardest decision of all.

Will ambition cost them the one thing neither of them ever expected to want —
each other?

A high-tension, emotional, steamy sapphic enemies-to-lovers romance where rivalry and desire collide, and two brilliant women discover that sometimes the fiercest battles lead to the strongest love.
