From the back cover

For six years, Ivy has served on the frontline while her husband George Durand, a respected department head at a hospital in Kingsfield, has quietly blocked every one of her transfer requests back to headquarters. When she secretly returns and overhears him admit he has held her application for five years to protect Mia, a mentee he vows to shield, Ivy finally understands the cost of her marriage. She asks a lawyer to prepare divorce papers and confronts George, who signs without hesitation, warning her not to come crawling back.

During the divorce cooling-off period, Ivy throws herself into her work and is shortlisted for the transfer. Then she learns she is three months pregnant. George soon discovers the news and demands she abort the child because it upsets Mia, who cannot have babies after a frontline injury. Ivy refuses, insisting the child is hers alone to decide, and George's grip tightens as he threatens to find other ways. When Mia calls, his fury melts into tenderness, and Ivy turns away, tears soaking her pillow.
