Code Lavender: A Nurse, a Widower, and the Quiet Room Where Healing Begins

When ER nurse Lila Hayes is asked to sit with a shaken father in the hospital’s quiet room, she thinks it’s just another long shift. But Caleb Holloway isn’t just another parent he’s a widower still learning how to raise his lively daughter while carrying the ache of losing his wife.

Their paths cross again on hushed walks down hospital halls, on benches tucked away in the garden where small conversations grow into something neither expected. Caleb’s grief is heavy, and Lila knows not to press, but moments keep stacking up: paper crowns folded for a child, stories of a treehouse once filled with laughter, letters that say what spoken words can’t.

Healing doesn’t come from time alone. It takes risk, and it takes trust. For Caleb, it also means facing the fear that moving forward might feel like letting go.

Can two lives marked by loss find the courage to write a new beginning?

Like every story in Hearts in Uniform, theirs proves that courage isn’t only found on duty it’s found in opening the heart.

In every town, there are quiet heroes people who rise early, stay late, and give more than they take. Hearts in Uniform is a clean romance series honoring those who serve with strength, compassion, and quiet courage on duty and at home.

From firefighters facing flames to school counselors guiding children, each story highlights everyday champions who make their communities safer and kinder. These are not tales of perfection but of resilience, humor, and the risk it takes to open a guarded heart.

Set in small towns and close-knit neighborhoods, each standalone romance introduces a new hero and heroine brought together in unexpected ways. Saving lives, delivering letters, tending strays, restoring trust love often arrives in the middle of service and sacrifice.

Hearts in Uniform offers slow-burn connection, witty banter, and clean, swoon-worthy endings. One brave love story at a time.
