"My Parents Expect a Boyfriend for Christmas," the Doctor Said Stitching the Don—"I'll Go."

“My Parents Think I’m Bringing a Boyfriend Home for Christmas,” the Doctor Said While Stitching Up the Mafia Boss—He Smiled, “Want Me to Pretend?” At 2:14 a.m. on December 23rd, exhausted night-shift doctor Clara Vance is at her breaking point. Two years after her ex-fiancé, Dr. Julian Sterling, stole her medical research to advance his own career—and started dating her spoiled cousin Tiffany—Clara accidentally tells her judgmental family on FaceTime that she isn't taking the Greyhound bus home for Christmas because her wealthy boyfriend in "maritime logistics" is driving her up to their mountain tree farm. Three minutes later, the back door of her harbor clinic bursts open. Cassian Thorne—the cold, untouchable head of the Thorne Syndicate—walks in bleeding from a midnight ambush. Instead of panicking, Clara scolds him for tracking blood onto her freshly mopped linoleum, puts a glittery reindeer Band-Aid on his bruised knuckles, and mutters about her Christmas disaster while stitching his ninth rib. When the most feared man on the eastern seaboard offers to play her fake boyfriend for forty-eight hours in exchange for a quiet place to hide, neither of them expects an armored Maybach pulling up next to her ex's leased Porsche, a six-foot-six bodyguard in a Santa hat carrying a poinsettia, or a Christmas Eve dinner table reckoning that changes their lives forever. ☕ Welcome to our midnight storytelling sanctuary.
