Summary from the book:
Kiera Connelly leads a quiet life, and that's
just how she likes it. She's built a name as a graphic designer and meets up
with her friends online, all from the comfort of her living room couch. But
when a rare outing turns disastrous, Kiera finds herself up close and way too
personal with an unbelievably hot real-life hero.
Zach Ashley doesn't see himself as a hero.
He's just a regular guy who gets to help people every day as an EMT. But when
he's called to a scene and has to treat his most gorgeous patient ever, he
finds himself mixing work with pleasure. He never hesitates to put his life on
the line...but will he ever risk his heart?
Excerpt from the book:
She was still watching the ambulance,
and she nodded absently. “Okay.”
He moved in front of her and crouched
to get on eye level. “You can go right over and see them at the hospital. Mass
General. If you’re not family, they might not be able to tell you much, but if
you can get in touch with their families, they can come and sit with you,
right?”
She nodded again but Zach wasn’t sure
she’d heard him. He really wanted to know that someone was going to be there
with her. Shock in survivors wasn’t uncommon. The that-could’ve-been-me thing
could kick in at any moment if it hadn’t already. But there was nothing like
seeing someone you cared about hurt.
He put his hands on her arms again,
this time rubbing up and down and just ignoring how good her skin felt against
his rough palms. Mostly. He needed to comfort her more than he needed to worry
about how she made him feel.
“Do you know where Mass General is?” He
didn’t love the idea of her driving herself over there. She was clearly
overwhelmed.
Kiera nodded. “Yes.”
“You can get there?” he asked.
She nodded again.
Okay. So…
“Zach! Let’s go!”
Zach glanced over at Reed. His
co-workers needed help so he was going to be here for a while. He couldn’t be
messing around, obsessing about a woman who liked to play dress-up. “Kiera, I
need to go but…”
“Yeah, of course.” She shook her head
and looked around. “You go.”
“But…” But nothing. She was fine, and
he was needed by people who weren’t fine. “Okay.”
He had the fleeting thought that he
wanted to kiss her goodbye. But that was crazy. They’d just met. In the middle
of an emergency. No way should he kiss her.
Finally, he let go of her and stepped
back. But not touching her didn’t do a thing to make him not want to touch her. He
forced himself to turn away and head toward Reed, trying to clear his mind of
green and gold sweet-smelling flowers as he went. But when he got about twenty
feet from her, he glanced back.
And she was still standing there.
Hugging herself. Looking lost.
Fuck.
“I’ll be right there,” he told Reed.
Reed glanced back. “Dude…”
“I know.” And he did. He needed to not
be distracted. But the only way that was going to happen was if he knew for
sure that Kiera was taken care of.
He jogged back to her side. “Hey
princess, what’s up?”
She looked at him, and her look of
confusion cleared. That made him feel stupidly good.
“I don’t have a way…”
She trailed off, and Zach frowned. “You
don’t feel up to driving?”
“We brought Sophie’s car, and her fob
thingy is with her.”
Ah. A little issue. “You have someone
you can call?”
“I didn’t bring my phone.”
“You can use mine.”
“No one’s home. I live with Maya and
Sophie,” she said. “Obviously, they’re not… there.”
Her voice wobbled, and Zach worked on not
grabbing her and hugging her.
They’d just fucking met. Hugging and
kissing wasn’t appropriate. Dammit.
“How about a cab?”
“I don’t have any money.”
He looked her over again, revisiting
the curves he realized he’d already memorized. He could give her money for a
cab of course. He could get her home. But she’d be home alone. He could get her
to the hospital, but they wouldn’t talk to her and she’d be stuck in the
waiting room for God knew how long. Alone.
And leaving her alone was simply
something he could not do.
“You need to come with me.” He reached
out and snagged her hand before he could tell himself that holding her hand was
a bad idea.
Because it was. Her hand felt good in
his, and the way she curled her fingers around his tightly and followed him
without question felt good. And the idea that he was going to get to spend more
time with her felt good. And all of that was bad. And yet, he pulled her along
with him through the convention hall and into the heart of the chaos.
“What are we doing?” she asked.
“I need to go help with some more
injured. And I need you to stick with me.”
“Me? Why?”
He looked over at her. Her cape floated
behind her, and for the first time, he noticed the golden sword swinging at her
left hip. Damn. That was kind of hot. “Because you’re a gorgeous kick-ass warrior
princess, and the people in here are gonna need some gorgeous kick-ass stuff.”
She looked at him with surprise, but as
he held her gaze, he saw something that turned him on even more than her
smelling like candy—a spark of determination. She pulled up straighter as she
walked, and he felt her hand tighten on his.
“Kick ass. Right. I can do that.”
He smiled. “And I could use some help
from an interpreter.”
“An interpreter? I speak some Spanish
but that’s about it.”
“You don’t speak geek?” He hoped he
wasn’t committing a faux pau in calling her, and all of this, geeky.
But she actually gave him a half smile.
“Oh, geek. Yes, I’m fluent.”
