Excerpt

“Are you okay?” The deep timbre of a man’s voice reached her ears. She turned as one of her tears fell onto her cheek. She gazed from black leather shoes to dark slacks. A silk shirt covered a wide chest, and when she stared into eyes the color of jade, Bliss felt herself stop breathing. He was one of the most gorgeous men she had ever seen. The man was clean-shaven with a face that had a rugged jaw. He did not smile, but his lips were so kissable Bliss wanted to taste them immediately. Dark hair flowed over the collar of his shirt, but it was his eyes that beckoned her back into their green depths. They were mesmerizing, but still she saw something there, swirling like dark waters in a troubled storm.

“Are you okay?” he asked again. He raised his hand and wiped the stray tear away with the pad of his thumb.

Bliss knew she was staring with her mouth hanging open, but she couldn’t help it. Say something, you fool! she hissed to herself. “Um, I’m fine . . . fine . . . Can I help you with something? Do you need to be seen by a doctor?”

“No, I saw your face. You looked upset. I thought I might help. Shall I take you to dinner?”

That question caused her mouth to drop open again. “Dinner? Uh, no, thank you. I don’t know you for you to take me to dinner, and I’m working.” Hell, I’m tempted to say yes because he is so fine.

“Then let me introduce myself. I am Caim.” He bowed slightly. “And you are?”

“I’m . . . I’m Bliss Tadeo,” she offered, then laughed, flustered. “Why am I telling you my name? You could be a mass murderer!”

Bliss caught sight of Amber and a few other nurses standing behind the guy who had introduced himself as Caim. The curiosity was on their faces, and they were obviously ogling. Plus, Amber was shaking her fingers as if she were burned while mouthing the word hot!

“Perfect joy and praise,” Caim said.

His comment diverted her attention from the onlookers behind him. “Um, what’s that now?” Bliss felt like fiddling with her hair or something to distract her from his eyes. She couldn’t do anything. Her hands held the fragile basket with tubes of labeled blood.

“Bliss Tadeo, your name, it means perfect joy and praise.”

“Oh, I didn’t know that.” Bliss couldn’t think of anything else to say to that beautiful statement. “You aren’t from around here, but I feel as if I’ve met you before. Do you have family in Merry?”

He shook his head. “No, I am alone.”

Four words never sounded so desolate in her opinion. “You have no one, I’m sorry.” Bliss saw the frown of the head ER doctor. “Hey, it was nice meeting you, Caim. I have to get back to work. I’ll see you around, okay?”

“Good-bye for now, Bliss.” He made her name sound like a caress, and she could almost sigh as he passed by her and headed for the doors.
