    Summary

    "There are hundreds of stories about the acts of gods and heroes. Epics about how they shaped the world, comedy and tragedy dancing with one another in the same tale.

    Everyone wants to hear stories of such great figures.

    Much rarer are the stories of nymphs.

    And rarer still are those about nymphs that don’t find themselves to be a tragedy."

    OR

    Mel is a dryad drawn out into a world larger than herself when the beloved daughter of Demeter is stolen away under her nose. With no answers and a clock ticking down until her mother finds out about her disappearance, Mel must leave her comfortable grove and find her before it's too late. No matter the personal cost.

    Summary

    If she wouldn’t look crazy for doing it, Mel would have pinched herself again. Because there was no conceivable way that Frank was actually, truly, standing in front of her in a dimly lit call room, asking her to touch him.

    “C’mon, Mel. Take advantage.”

    It’s night shift, and Mel gets an anatomy lesson.

    Summary

    “Tell me not to do it.”

    Her jaw drops, eyebrows furrowing, and she says, “What?”

    “Tell me not to do it,” he repeats. “Tell me that I should divorce her, tell me that you —”

    He swallows the words and says, “Tell me that I shouldn’t renew my vows, that I should be with someone who actually wants to be with me, who isn’t just doing it because she thinks she has to because we have kids and I’m in recovery.”

    Summary

    "You're my favorite resident, Mel. That's no secret."

    "Well, good," she says, trying to tamper down her emerging smile. She can feel the heat in her cheeks and is thankful the dim light is enough to hide it from him. "You're my favorite, too," then, in attempt to keep the professional wall in place, she tacks on a quick, "Dr. Langdon."

    The evolution of Mel's relationship with Frank, as told by car rides to and from work.
