Second Saga, Book Three: Deis' Purpose Jill Marie Denton

DeAnna Sarafian, Second's intrepid bassist, is the tie that binds. Now known in both music and medicine as Deis, this fiery and exotic woman uses charm, wit and intellect to push boundaries and win over critics. Maternal and dutiful, this Armenian-American vixen works overtime to keep her friends on the same page.

This accomplished pediatric diagnostician is assigned the toughest case of her life, a teenager with an illusive illness and inexplicable symptoms. Pushed to the edge, Deis faces criticism, ridicule and oppression in the face of this impossible case. Having a hopeless crush on her mind doesn't help, either.

Second's pet project White Light and their lead singer Charlie Taylor, dark and mysterious, has derailed the normally composed bassist and doctor, leaving her obsessed and preoccupied. He's physical perfection in her mind, but his heart is taken by another, one Deis has no hope of competing against.

Overwhelmed and exhausted, Deis is running out of time to diagnose her patient and cure her own desperation for Charlie's attention. Will she win this race or succumb right along with her patient?
