In 1850s London, Jack Dawkins is a poor but brilliant surgeon. Lady Y/n, a lord’s daughter with a forbidden passion for medicine, is everything he resents. They hate each other. Forced to work together, their rivalry sharpens as Y/n fights illness, disbelief, and a world that refuses to let women become surgeons. Enemies by nature and allies by necessity, they soon learn that hatred can blur into something far more dangerous.
