WORK OUT
No sex for almost a year could kill a guy, but when you’re the boxer known as the Juggernaut, it’s the price you pay for turning pro. Tommy’s fully dedicated to his craft, until he meets the incredibly gorgeous Dr. Siena Carr. Now he’s looking forward to taking on this prim and proper lady in a wet and wild workout…
KNOCK OUT
Siena has seen many patients come through the ER, but none as sexy as Tommy Raines. With a nasty cut over his eye, she knows he needs stitches, but after he takes off his shirt, she needs some air. With rock-hard abs and taut biceps, it’s clear this man takes care of his body. And all Siena can think about is letting him take care of hers…

Book Excerpt:
Dr. Siena Carr
dropped the clipboard on the counter and washed her hands. When she turned
around, she gasped. “What are you doing?”
The Juggernaut was
undressing. Before she could say another word, he was naked. A glorious sight
that sent her heart racing and her face burning. Did he know that he looked
like a sculpture by Michelangelo? Except for the tattoo on his right shoulder,
this man was David incarnate.
She looked away
abruptly, grabbing the clipboard. She didn’t even know his name! She looked at
his paperwork. Tommy Raines. “Mr.
Raines, please put on your clothes.”
She continued
scanning his form. Occupation: boxer. Age: twenty-two. Weight: 160 pounds.
Height: six feet. Blood type: O positive. No pre-existing health conditions.
His temperature and blood pressure were normal. Reason for ER visit: a cut
sustained from sparring.
She faced him.
Thank God, he was clothed again.
“Sorry about
that,” he said. “I thought you’re supposed to check me out.”
Did he just say check him out? “Mr. Raines, this is an ER, not a bar. I don’t check out
patients. Do you mean to say check up?”
He smiled. “Yeah,
check up.”
“I’m going to take
care of your cut, but I’m not doing a checkup. If you need one, you should go
to your primary care doctor.”
“I don’t like
doctors. I avoid hospitals and clinics as much as possible, but my cut kept
bleeding even after I showered. So here I am.”
Doctors were,
indeed, the last resort for macho guys who thought they were invincible. She
didn’t need a vote of confidence, but a dose of tact would have been nice.
“Please sit down.”
She pointed at the bed.
She crossed the
room to pick up a pair of latex gloves from a cabinet. She drew a deep breath
as she put them on. It was unnerving. First, Nancy and Jonah both insinuated
that she was hunting for a boyfriend. Only five weeks after her breakup, she
was as vulnerable as a gaping wound. Their teasing didn’t help. Second, this
Juggernaut man had stripped in front of her, jarring her composure.
No matter. She turned
around to face him. “Well, let’s have a look at you.”
“You’re too young
to be a doctor.” He was sitting on the bed, his feet swinging.
“Excuse me?”
“How old are you?”
He was appraising her from head to toe.
Her face bloomed
with heat as her blood pressure rose. How rude!
