What do you do when you’ve spent years trying to curate the perfect life only to watch it shatter in a matter of weeks? When your faith is broken. Your desire to keep going is oppressed. And while your world is crumbling to pieces, you must figure out how to hold it together—if not for yourself, then for the clients you serve. Do you know? I don’t…

Fledging therapist Sarah Johnson was well on her way to the perfect life. A small house with a white picket fence, a handsome boyfriend, and a baby on the way. Not to mention, a tiny practice of her very own. Life is good…until it’s not. Her boyfriend Brandon soon rejects the idea of being a father and flips a switch she didn’t see coming. And while Sarah’s world slowly condenses to weekly beatings and verbal abuse, she struggles to find her way out. That is, until she has an unfortunate encounter with a famed, emotionally tortured psychiatrist.

A man’s got three things to prioritize—his word, his faith, and his morals. I’ve struggled with all three a time or two but lately, my gut has been telling me to rely on one of these more than usual, and so I have. But, while taking the moral high ground hasn’t been hard, my self-imposed abstinence has.

For two decades, world renowned psychiatrist Alexander Richardson has filled packed stadiums, helmed his own psychiatry practice, and has traveled the world due to his success. Famous for his tough work ethic and global philanthropic efforts, he is mostly regarded as a trailblazer in his field.

Putting his love life on hold, Alexander has decided to wait until he finds the one woman who can warm him the way he desires. However, he has yet to find the one thing that can fill his heart and ease his mind of his insecurities. That is, until Sarah Johnson walks into his office and flips his world upside down.
