Medicine Man

Willow Taylor lives in a castle with large walls and iron fences. But this is no ordinary castle. It's called Heartstone Psychiatric hospital and it houses forty other patients. It has nurses with mean faces and techs with permanent frowns. It has a man, as well. A man who is cold and distant. Whose voice drips with authority. And whose piercing gray eyes hide secrets, and maybe linger on her face a second too long. Willow isn't supposed to look deep into those eyes. She isn't supposed to try to read his tightly leashed emotions. And neither is she supposed to touch herself at night, imagining his powerful voice and that cold but beautiful face. No, Willow Taylor shouldn't be attracted to Simon Blackwood, at all. Because she's a patient and he's her doctor. Her psychiatrist. The medicine man. WARNING: This book discusses sensitive issues including but not limited to, depression and suicide. Heartstone Series - Book 1. A complete standalone.

Eighteen-year-old Willow Taylor has lived inside the walls of Heartstone Psychiatric Hospital for years, battling the depression that has shadowed her since she was fourteen. The castle-like institution is the only world she knows — until she meets Dr. Simon Blackwood, the cold, enigmatic psychiatrist she secretly calls her medicine man. He is off-limits in every way, yet Willow cannot stop being drawn to the one person sworn to heal her. As the line between patient and doctor blurs, Willow must decide whether salvation lies in mending her broken soul — or in surrendering to a forbidden desire that could destroy them both. Medicine Man is the first book in Saffron A. Kent's Heartstone series, a forbidden doctor-patient romance.
