Do No Harm

Do No Harm
L.J. Garland & Debbie Gould

Blurb:
Air Force Pararescuman, Junior Lieutenant Kyle “Raven” Alvarez has seen it all. After three years as the team’s medic, he’s been up to his elbows patching back together the worst humanity has to offer, overseas and stateside. So, when his team mates set him up for a date through Madam Eve’s 1Night Stand service, he jumps at the chance. But under no circumstances will he end up like Colin, Bobby, and Zeke...with a ring on his finger and a lifelong commitment. Just one night of hot, sweaty no-strings-attached sex, and he’ll be good to go. Besides, Madam Eve found three perfect matches already. He’s in the clear, right?

Dr. Melissa Anne Carter has dedicated her life to saving people. Especially the innocent victims of rampant gang violence that come through her Emergency Department. Then out of the blue, her long-forgotten application to 1Night Stand is answered. Madam Eve has found her perfect match. Maybe a night in the arms of a man who can make her body sing will help her forget all the horror she’s witnessed and lives she couldn’t save. At least for a little while.

But destruction at the hands of a madman has never hit so close to home, becoming more personal than ever. And when a man with a penchant for explosives vows revenge by abducting Melissa, the oath she took to Do No Harm takes on new meaning. Can Kyle and his team save the good doctor before the timer runs out—literally?

Excerpt:
“You need to move along, folks. Leave the roads clear for emergency vehicles.”

“I’m a doctor,” she told him. “I work here. Was called in.” She reached into her purse, pulled out her badge, and handed it to him.

“Just a minute.” The officer stepped back and spoke into his com mic.

She twisted toward Kyle. “Call me in a few hours. I’ll know more about what’s going on.”

“I will.” His gaze shifted over her shoulder for a second then he squeezed her hand. “I hate for you to go into something like that without me.”

“I’ll be all right.” I just hope my coworkers are. “It’s what I’m trained to do.”

“I know.” Drawing her hand to his lips, he kissed her knuckles as he met her gaze in the dim light.

“Lis, I like you. A lot. Tonight was just the beginning, if you feel the same way.”

Her heart stuttered. Can he know so soon? “I do.” She leaned into him, and his hand wrapped around the back of her head, pulling her in for a deep toe-curling, tongue-tangling, fire-in-the-pit-of-your-stomach kiss. Damn, the man knows how to say good-bye. “Wow.”
