People are dying in Dr. Joshua Salvador’s ER. His medical assistant, only weeks from delivering her baby, hangs on to life by a thread. The symptoms seem horrifyingly familiar, and he begins to suspect the deaths are targeted at him.

EXCERPT
She
backed up.
“Why
are you here?”
“I’m
here to help you.”
She
swayed, her eyes blinking rapidly.
He
reached for her, his elbow accidentally hitting the shelving behind him. Her
pictures rattled. One fell, shattering on the floor.
She
jumped, her gaze following the picture to the ground.
His
gaze followed hers. Oh, shit.
She
bent down, lifted the picture of a younger Elizabeth up off the floor. Her
hands were shaking.
He
wanted to hold them. To steady them.
“I
can’t do this again,” she whispered.
Yes,
you can. But the damn words were stuck.
Moving
around him, she placed the picture on the shelf. Broken glass shards fell onto
the floor at his feet.
Her
body was putting off heat. Feverish heat.
“I won’t do
this again. Please leave, Joshua.” She grabbed his hand, jerking him toward the
door.
He
let her lead him.
“I
have to focus. I need to be here for Elizabeth. I have to call Jackie’s parents
back. Work is calling me every five minutes.”
The
doctor in him kicked in, recognizing her rant, feeling her warm fingers, seeing
the sweat bubbling on her shiny forehead. He needed to calm her down, lower her
blood pressure, before she hyperventilated and passed out again.
“I
don’t know what to do. Do I take Elizabeth to the ER? Do I just watch her
myself? How do I even explain to a doctor—”
Distract
her.
Joshua
shifted his weight, gently shifting the power, then carefully pushed her until
her back hit the wall.
Her
eyes widened, and her mouth parted.
He
leaned in.
Her
hot breath hit his skin.
His
body responded. Jesus. What was wrong with him? He was so close to
her. That’s what was wrong. No, this is what’s finally right.
She
knew what was coming—he could see it in her eyes, the way her pupils were
dilating. They’d been here many times before. The mad make-up following one of
their fierce fights.
She
wasn’t pulling away. She was looking up at him, her body still, her breathing
fast and shallow, waiting for him to make a move.
His
heart leapt. He wanted to distract her by planting his lips on hers.
Her
body relaxed, and her arms slipped around his neck, as they’d done so many
times before.
He
put his hands on her backside and pulled her up into him, loving the feeling of
her heart beating against his chest once again. “It will all be okay. I
promise.” He pressed his lips to her neck, feeling the blood racing through her
artery.
