Dr. Derek Babineaux is intelligent, dedicated, and
one of the best ER physicians in the fast-paced world of critical care at
Tulane Medical in New Orleans. Always on top of his game, he's thrown off
balance when the newest medical staff member finally unleashes his hidden
desires.
Justin Delacroix's job at the inner city's busiest
hospital might be just what he needs to ease back into civilian life after a
long stint in the military. High-performing shifts make working as a trauma
nurse at TMC the perfect way to utilize his skills and quick reaction times. There's
only one problem, his attraction for one sexy ER doctor is off the charts, but
he has his reasons for not returning Dr. Baby's night shift advances. Or maybe
he doesn't.
...
“I’m starting to think you
might have a crush on me, Dr. Baby.” His own crooked smile spread, hoping he
was getting past the too quiet remark from earlier. He didn’t want Derek to see
him that way.
“Then quit dodging me and
let’s play doctor,” Derek growled. Justin could feel Derek’s heated gaze on
him, but refused to look his way.
“I don’t mix business with
pleasure,” Justin playfully fired right back, like he had every night they’d
worked together. Besides, Derek had to know he was such a liar. It took
everything in him not to jump the smug doctor right there in the hallway and
show him exactly how well he played with others.
“I’m not buying it.
Besides, if you don’t want to play with me, then why do I always catch you
eye-fucking me?” Derek cockily countered. The doctor grabbed his forearm,
stopping Justin in his tracks. Derek turned toward him and their eyes locked in
an instant. Justin wondered if Derek could hear his heart pounding against his
chest as he held his challenging gaze.
This was new to the game.
I live in the suburbs of
Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination,
may be women's hair!
Usually, I try for funny. Humor
is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do
in most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky
deal... I don't want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm
going to tell you about Kindle.
I tragically lost my
sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was
early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that
moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my
house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to
be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from
above. She didn't have to be alone.
That time in my life was
terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love
that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this
incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To
have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.
Her name was Kindle.
Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon
released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and
she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the
name Kindle on it.. It never happened.
Through the course of that
crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the
fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her
unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me.
Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives
and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I
know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.
