Spin doctor meets ER doctor
Living in her Hollywood movie star sister’s shadow is hard enough! But as her personal assistant, Grace Jackson is continually repairing the swath of damage the diva leaves in her wake. And now her antics have landed her in the Texas Rescue ER! What Grace needs is to find her sister the perfect man—someone to dispel the rumor mill. Satisfy the paparazzi. But where could she find this superhero wannabe?
Enter ER doctor Alex Gregory: he’s dignified, gifted...and a bit of a nerd. Still, he has an eye for genuine people like lovely Grace. So he reluctantly agrees to let Grace make him over and help salvage her sister’s reputation. From geek to chic, Alex becomes a dazzling escort for a celebrity-studded charity ball. But Grace has to wonder: did she remake Alex for her sister—or herself?
She looked at the cypress tree again, a single tall pillar of green in the middle of an acre of asphalt.
A lonely pillar. “I wish I was as good as you are at imagining that everything will work out okay.”
He turned toward her, laying his arm along the back of the bench. She was aware that his hand rested on the bench just behind her shoulder blades, right behind her spine, the very spine she needed to stiffen.
“Is everything not okay with you?” he asked.
She didn’t want to have a spine of steel. She wanted to melt into his arms. “Isn’t everything not okay with everyone? We all have our little troubles, right? Everyone’s fighting their own battle.”
She was babbling, fighting the desire to lean into him, into Alex Gregory, MD, according to the embroidery on his coat. Can I call you Alex? Tell you all my worries?
“Grace, you can talk to me.”
Okay, that was a little scary. He was like the perfect guy.
But he was studying her again. She didn’t know when anyone else had ever looked at her so closely. She was only an assistant, for goodness’ sake. Keeper of the lipstick and the schedule. What was there for him to see?

Texas Rescue: Rescuing hearts...one Texan at a time!
I hope you enjoy reading this romance as much as I enjoyed writing the happily-ever-after ending. This hero particularly deserved to end up with the perfect woman for him, a heroine who is an optimist at her core. Of course, every hero deserves his heroine at the end, but I have a particular soft spot for this hero. He’s a doctor in an emergency room, and I felt I understood him because of my own experiences.
You see, once upon a time, I was in emergency services as a police officer. I became accustomed to the fact that every single call I answered, every single person I spoke to, was in trouble, whether they were victims, suspects—or just lost and needing directions! When I was off duty, that feeling persisted. If I saw a car at the side of the road, I assumed the driver needed my help. Always. This emergency-room hero feels the same way. Every day, all the people he interacts with need him to fix their problems, so when he meets the heroine, he assumes she needs his help, as well. Part of the happily-ever-after includes the hero’s realization that the heroine doesn’t need him—but she does want him. Her personal strength is as appealing to him as her pretty face.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this story. You can find me as Caro Carson on Facebook and Twitter, or you can drop me a private email through my website at carocarson.com.
