      “I like you, Ava Archer.”

      Heat suddenly rushed to her face, and in an effort to hide it, she turned and grabbed up her tote.

      “Don’t worry about it, Bowie. It’s just a nurse thing. You’ll get over it.”

      He chuckled again. “I wouldn’t bet on that either.”

      Not daring to glance his way, she walked to the door. “Remember to keep your ankle elevated as much as possible. And make sure you don’t get your bandages wet.”

      “I already know all that stuff. Tell me something I don’t know.”

      She glanced over her shoulder to see he was looking at her, and as her gaze slipped over his fresh, rugged face, she realized she felt more alive than she had in years.

      A faint smile tugged at her lips even though she was trying to stop it. “I like you, too, Bowie Calhoun.”

      “Will I see you tomorrow?”

      “You’ll see me every day until my job here is finished.” A corner of his mouth lifted in a sexy grin. “Then I’ll have to make sure your job lasts a long, long time.”

      And she was going to have to make sure to keep this man at a safe distance, she thought. Otherwise, she was going to forget she was a nurse and remember she was a woman.

      “No, Dad. She’s not here yet and when she does show her face, I’m going to send her packing. I’m sick and tired of being poked and prodded by nurses,” Bowie Calhoun barked into the cell phone. “Now that I’m home and away from that damned hospital, I don’t want another nurse putting her grubby hands on me!”

      “Simmer down, Bowie. Someone has to care for your injuries. Those burns—”
