Love’s Anatomy – What We Risk When We Love

When love gets under your skin

Never show any sign of weakness – that has long been 26-year-old Leevke’s motto. After studying medicine and working as an orthopaedic trainee doctor, she doesn’t have a flat when she first moves to Hamburg and has to take a job in trauma surgery, because she needs the money. Despite the gruff manner of the male-dominated team, she fights for every patient’s well-being, whereas it would seem that the consultant in charge, the boss’s attractive son, thinks that the hospital’s finances are more important. Leevke doesn’t want him of all people to find out that she herself is still feeling the effects of an accident: The pain in her wrist makes every surgery a challenge for her.

A gripping love story out of the run of day-to-day hospital work between pounding hearts, disagreements and second chances.
