In the years they’ve worked together, Laney has never given Josh the time of day…
She thinks he’s nothing more than a pompous doctor looking for another notch to add to his belt. But caring for Skyler brings the pair closer, and Laney lets down her guard, allowing them the chance to find happiness together in the midst of so much destruction. But someone doesn’t want them to be happy. Someone wants Laney gone.
Threats might derail their love before it really starts…
As the couple tries to build their budding relationship, Laney begins to receive menacing messages. And when she and Josh learn that Skyler’s accident is anything but unintentional, they fight to balance finding the would-be killer with keeping keep Laney safe from her stalker. But each wild turn takes them further away from the truth…and each other.
Can Laney and Josh discover who is behind the violent acts, or is each guess they make nothing more than a shot in the dark?
Some accidents aren’t accidental…
Review:
I love my crime shows including Chicago Med and I love reading mystery thrillers. This author creatively takes mystery, the ER scene, and romance and creates a page turning story that keeps you on your toes for the entire ride. Not only does Summer take these three elements to create a great story, but Summer also crates all these characters within the book with their own stories that are all intertwined. Josh and Laney, who the story as a whole seems to revolve around are the nurse and trauma surgeon at this hospital. I loved that the author used actual medical language in the story. It added a realness to the story and made sense since they work in a hospital ER. It was fun watching the tensions build as the story unfolded and realizing how each story is intertwined into the thread of the story. I really enjoyed this story and look forward to more from this author.
Blurb:
Josh had been a gentleman. At times, he seemed
to be overprotective. In a way, she liked it. She loved knowing she didn’t have
to look over her shoulder all the time and even began to let down her guard.
She dozed at one point and woke up to strong
hands kneading her back. Until then, she hadn’t realized how her muscles had
grown stiff from the boarding. She lifted her head. It took a moment for her to
reorient herself.
“Good morning, Sunshine.”
She rolled over. She couldn’t help but admire
his physical beauty. His body was a work of art; his chest and arms were
perfectly chiseled and tan, and he had a six pack to die for. This man
has no flaws.Trying not to be too obvious about her gawking, she was finally
able to talk.
“What time is it?”
Josh checked his watch. “It’s
about 5:30.”
“Wow! I slept like two hours.”
“I know. I enjoyed watching you sleep.”
“Oh geez, I must be the worst date ever.”
“No, I actually fell asleep for a bit too.
Then I took a dip in the ocean to clear my mind. It was good.”
“Well, I’m glad.” Laney stretched and stared
out at the ocean.
“What do you say we go rinse off in the
showers again and get some dinner? There’s this great restaurant I want to take
you to.”
“I thought we agreed that I was the only one
who was in the need to know and you were to be surprised. To answer your
question, they serve everything but specialize in seafood. You can wear a
cover-up and be fine. However, that little sundress you were wearing earlier
will be perfect.”
“You’re a pain.”
He threw his head back and laughed. “Yes, I
am.”
“So you liked the sundress?”
“I don’t think I said that. I believe I said
it would be perfect for this restaurant. But yes, it is very flattering.”
“You think I’m pretty.” She took a line out of
the movie Miss Congeniality, “You think I’m pretty, and
you want to kiss me.”
She wasn’t expecting the words would have the
same effect as in the movie, but before she knew it, he pushed her back onto
the towel and gave her the deepest, most passionate kiss she had ever
experienced.
This kiss was something out of the movies. If
she had been standing, she would’ve probably melted into his arms.
The kiss seemed to last forever, and yet it
was over too soon. His stare was hypnotic. It took her a moment to catch her
breath but she couldn’t stop looking into his eyes. They were so beautiful she
wanted to get lost in them forever.
He broke the silence. “Yes, I do.”
“Yes you do what?” She sat back up.
“Yes, I do want to kiss you.” He smiled
crookedly.
“I’d say so. I certainly didn’t see that
coming.”
“Well, there’s something about the element of
surprise. Sometimes it can knock you off your feet.”
“That you did.” She touched her hand to her
lips to try to hold onto the tingling she had felt.
“Don’t worry. It won’t be the last one.”
“Oh, really?” She smiled at him.
“Yes. There’ll be plenty more to come.”
“What if I’ve decided I’m not that into you?”
“Based on the way you just responded to me,
I’d say there isn’t a chance in
hell that’s the case.” He got up to his feet and helped her up.
“Is that so? You seem pretty sure of
yourself.” She brushed the sand off her arms and legs and put on her
flip-flops. She grabbed her towel and began shaking the sand off as Josh shook the
sand off his.
“It’s hard not to be when you look like this.”
He gestured up and down his body.
“Hot and modest. How did I
get so lucky to snag a date with you? You must have your choice of swooning
women.”
“You forgot to mention I’m a good kisser.”
She laughed and tried to frown. “Okay, now
you’re just being a jerk.” She tucked the towel into her bag.
But he couldn’t be as sure of himself as he
claimed, because then he said, “Hey, you know I’m just kidding, right?”
“Well, you are a good
kisser, but, don’t let it go to your head.” Laughing, they headed up the beach
to the showers. Once they rinsed off, they walked to the car and grabbed some
clothes to throw on over their bathing suits. Josh took Laney’s hand and held
it as they walked
