Still Perfect

Between life and death lies obsession. Some nurses hold more than just medicine in their hands.
Jillian walks the sterile corridors of the ER with a secret in her scrubs pocket—a laminated photograph of Jason, her first love, forever frozen at twenty-two. Perfect. Unchanging. And buried somewhere on the property at 1001 Magnolia.
Through three failed marriages and a nursing career where the chaos of trauma medicine helps mask her own internal turmoil, Jillian wields the subtle power that comes with deciding who receives care, and how quickly. Every relationship is measured against the idealized memory of Jason, every patient interaction colored by her past. Each new man—stable Rueben with his young son, comfortable Brian with his investment banking job, and finally Richard, the X-ray tech with his ice cream and easy laughter—falls short of the perfect love she clings to.
But when human remains are discovered at 1001 Magnolia and a devastating fire threatens to expose long-buried secrets, Jillian must confront the truth about Jason and the destructive nature of her obsession—before her carefully constructed life in the hospital and at home crumbles around her.
A chilling psychological thriller that pulls back the curtain on the darker side of healthcare, exploring one nurse's descent into obsession and the thin ethical line between letting someone die and taking a life.
