Dr. Anna Ashbourne
Age: 28
Profession: Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon
Nationality: British
Residence: Edinburgh, Scotland
"The heart is my profession, not my weakness."
Dr. Anna Ashbourne is one of the youngest and most respected cardiothoracic surgeons at St. Caledonia Medical Centre. Known for her flawless surgical precision and unwavering confidence, she has earned a reputation as the hospital's "Ice Queen."
Calm under pressure and ruthless when it comes to mistakes, Anna believes perfection isn't a choice-it's a responsibility. She doesn't tolerate excuses, unnecessary emotions, or people who let feelings interfere with their work.
Love?
To her, it's nothing but an illogical distraction.
She has no interest in relationships, dating, or marriage. Her priorities begin and end with her career, her patients, and the countless stray animals she secretly rescues after exhausting shifts. She believes in humanity with all her heart-but refuses to believe in romance.
Few people know that beneath her cold exterior lies a fifteen-year-old memory she has never truly erased.
A forgotten notebook.
A school cafeteria.
A boy she admired from afar.
A memory she refuses to acknowledge.

Dr. Daniel Devereux
Age: 29
Profession: Consultant Neurosurgeon
Nationality: British
Residence: Edinburgh, Scotland
"Winning isn't a habit. It's a standard."
Dr. Daniel Devereux is an internationally recognized neurosurgeon whose brilliance is matched only by his confidence. Intelligent, charismatic, and exceptionally talented, he has spent years building a reputation that few can rival.
Patients trust him.
The media admires him.
The hospital respects him.
Daniel is calm, composed, and naturally reserved. His serious expression often makes him seem distant, even arrogant, though those who know him understand that he simply speaks less than most.
Years ago, he was the talented schoolboy everyone admired-the star singer, the top student, and the boy countless girls had crushes on.
But there is one face...
One quiet girl...
One brief encounter in a school cafeteria...
That he doesn't remember at all.
Fate, however, remembers everything.
And soon, it will bring two unstoppable hearts face to face once again.
