Bonding Issues

A strong first bond means nothing if it doesn't last.

Elena Marquez has come a long way since joining Alveora Dental Group. She's learned the language of restorative dentistry, found her footing in the dental industry, and is finally ready to help shape the company's future in adhesive materials.

Then things get complicated.

As Alveora develops a new universal adhesive, Elena is drawn into the high-stakes world of bond durability, clinical evidence, usability testing, and competitive strategy. What looks promising at first doesn't always hold up over time-and in dentistry, as in life, lasting success depends on more than a good first impression.

At the same time, her relationship with Zürich dentist Jonas Frei is becoming more serious. But closeness brings its own challenges. As work and personal life begin to overlap, Elena must figure out how to protect her independence without pushing away the person who matters most.

Bonding Issues is a smart, witty workplace romance where dental science meets corporate ambition, professional boundaries become personal, and some bonds prove harder to maintain than others.
