The Only Match

Station Eleven meets Get a Life, Chloe Brown

Leukemia almost killed Minerva Jones at age twenty-nine. Her husband abandoned her. Between her mediocre salary and her medical debts, living with her parents is all she can afford. Because she never wants to be sick again, she always dons a respirator before leaving her room. But she wonders about the man whose stem cells saved her life…

Spyros Lam lives to perform on stage. Though he got cast in the title role of a play at the prestigious Oregon Shakespeare Festival, his professor father, chief medical officer mother, and lawyer brother treat him like a failure. Meanwhile, a mystery has nagged him for two years—who is the woman who received his marrow?

How can Minerva and Spyros pursue their growing interest in each other during an ongoing pandemic?

This is an open-door romance, with instructions for a closed-door modification at the beginning.
