Ella (Elinore) is the daughter of eminent medics who alienated her whole family when she decided she would rather become a chiropractor.

Adam is a dedicated orthopaedic surgeon whose attitude towards alternative and complimentary therapies has been strongly coloured by his sister’s death. He is torn between his attraction towards Ella as a person and his mistrust of her profession while she resents Adam denigrating her profession the way hr parents always have even as her attraction to him grows. With both of them appointed to a research forum, clashes are inevitable but that doesn’t stop the attraction growing between them.
