SHE FLOATED, SURROUNDED by a forest . . . woodlands and the scent of fresh grass. Pine. Cedar. Base notes of leather.

She blinked her eyes open. Her fingers gripped the sides of a cot, soft beneath her back.

Her vision blurred, then slowly cleared as she peered up into familiar eyes. Green—so green. The flash of color before everything went blank.

She tried to sit and groaned when her head throbbed.

“Easy there.” Logan hovered over her and placed a steadying hand on her back.

The events of the last few moments flashed through her mind—the nurse thinking she was Dr. Maddox, the blood, her woozy head . . .

Logan must have seen her faint.

He broke her fall.

Reaching a hand up to her aching head, she tried to quell the pounding as she glanced up at him.

“Welcome back.” He grinned. “You know, if you wanted to get me alone, all you had to do was ask. You didn’t need to fake fainting.”

Marti brought a hand to her head and groaned. “I wasn’t faking.”

“I didn’t know you were a doctor. Funny you never mentioned it. Doctor by day, writer by night? Or do you only practice on Tuesdays?”

“Funny,” Marti rasped, scowling.

In an effort to clear the fog, she shook her head and glanced around her. They were in the back of a tented booth, hidden away from the crowd of Med students strolling by.

“It’s unusual for a doctor to faint at the sight of blood,” he plowed on, clearly more than amused by her presence there, in a white lab coat, sporting a foreign nametag.

“I have epilepsy.” Marti glared at him, but her lips twitched, betraying her.

“Do you now?”

“It’s not exactly the kind of thing you advertise. Is it?”

“So you’re a doctor and you have epilepsy? And here I just thought you might be spying on me.”

Marti picked at an invisible stain on her coat. “Fine. You’re right. I came to this death chamber to talk to you. Happy?”

Logan snickered. “Quite. Death chamber, you’re so dramatic.” He gripped her hands and helped her stand, while the cot creaked in protest.

She stretched her sore back, and the smirk on his face spread. For a man who had a lot of explaining to do, he looked way too pleased with himself. And the sooner he started talking, the better.

“Do you have a child?” she blurted.

Those perfect lips froze, mid-smile. “What?”

“Because if you do, I’d like to know why you thought that wasn’t an important piece of personal information I needed to know.”

He said nothing, staring down at her, eyes wide with shock.

“Oh, come on.” Marti huffed. “It’s not like it was hard to find. I saw a picture, with you and your pregnant fiancé online.”
