“Book Descriptions: Two young medics, Alexa and Joe, both dealing with trauma from their past, are at war with each other right from their initial confrontation, but they’re not as different as they’d like to think.
Alexa is a paediatric nurse living in London, having moved from her beloved hometown Liverpool five years ago. She’s struggling to come to terms with losing the love of her life to another woman.
Joe, the new paediatrician on Alexa’s ward, walks in on his first day of work. He’s confident, arrogant but Alexa believes she sees something behind his hard exterior.
Both Alexa and Joe have baggage, a heavy past and in order for them to come together, they must deal with their demons, shed skins, and confess to each other. But it’s not that simple when Joe has not yet confronted his reality, and being a male victim of partner abuse, this is something he cannot talk about.
When Joe pushes Alexa away and she leaves and doesn’t come running back, why does Joe’s heart feel as though it’s been ripped out of his chest?
Alexa and Joe go on a journey of self-discovery of love, both together and apart.” DRIVE
