Sylvia Reynolds gave her marriage everything: her coveted medical career, a decade of devotion, and eventually the hands that made her an extraordinary surgeon. Only after Jason destroys those hands to save another woman's child does she understand the cruel truth. To him, she was never the woman he chose, but a replacement for someone else. Refusing to disappear, Sylvia takes her daughter to Boston and rebuilds the life she abandoned. Back in her white coat, she earns her place as a leading microsurgery specialist while Jason realizes too late what he has lost. When he comes begging for her skill, she demands a divorce before she will consider helping him. Rumors, professional schemes, hostile patients, and threats against her family cannot force Sylvia back into the shadows. After years of being defined by another person's desire, she claims her name, her talent, and her future.
