The Remingtons: Mended by Love
USA Today Bestselling Author Stacy Eaton
Blurb:
Josey Napier had given up on love after a longtime crush told
her he loved her like a sister. Intent on staying busy at work as a surgical
nurse to suppress the pain, Josey is shocked when she recognizes Tucker
Wheatcraft, the police officer who saved a friend’s child from drowning, on her
operating room table—fighting for his own life.
Four months after pulling a young boy from the freezing water
while off duty, Tucker is struck by a car and shot. When he wakes up and finds
the woman he’s had his eye on standing vigil over him, he’s thankful to be
alive, but after weeks of therapy, Tucker still isn’t getting the feeling back
in his legs, and the mind games are starting to wreak havoc with him. Can he
ever be the kind of man that Josey deserves?
EXCERPT:
Two of the officers were sitting up,
one with her arm in a sling close to her side, another with gauze wrapped
around his head, but the third one grabbed my attention like a neon sign. The
officer was on his back, his uniform partially removed, and several people were
working around him even as they moved him into a treatment area.
I
followed the crowd of people into the room, standing back and listening to what
was happening. These people were trained for emergency room trauma. I wasn’t
here to complete any medical procedure, just to oversee and have a good idea of
what we had when he came upstairs.
His
blood pressure was high, understandably the material of his pants on his left
leg had been cut, and bone stuck out through the skin, damn. I stepped around
the gurney to the other side to see what exactly they were working on and found
several people fixated on his abdomen area.
I
clenched my teeth. A gunshot to the abdomen was never good. There were so many
organs that could be damaged. All that soft tissue to check would be hell in
the OR. If the bullet had fragmented inside his abdomen cavity, it was going to
take a while to find it all.
The
ER doctors called out for tests to be done, and I stepped up to Paul. “Hey,
Paul, can you order an X-ray of his abdomen while they are doing the leg? I
want to know if the bullet fragmented, and if so, how badly.”
“You
got it, Josey,” Paul replied and I melted into the shadows again. As I leaned
against the wall, I looked at the officer’s face for the first time. He was
staring at me, and my heart skipped as I recognized him. Oh, shit.
Normally,
I stayed out of the way when it came to the trauma room, but his eyes screamed
for help—or maybe he just wanted someone to tell him it was going to be
alright. I approached the gurney, resting my hand on his forehead. “Tucker,
hold on, okay. We’re going to do everything we can for you.”
He
swallowed and gave the slightest nod before he closed his eyes and winced in
pain as someone pushed on his stomach. A moment later, he bucked his body and
screamed as his leg was shifted.
“His
pressure is dropping,” someone called out.
“Tucker,
hold on, you got this.” I glanced around the room. “Has he had any morphine?”
“Yes,”
one of the nurses stated, “but he’s not responding to it.”
“We
have a ventricular fibrillation! Get me the paddles!” Paul shouted as an alarm
began to sound.
I
stepped out of the way, staring at Tucker as his body went slack.
I
grabbed a nurse as she brushed past me, “I need a favor.” She nodded. “Get in
touch with Dr. Mark Ellis and tell him Tucker Wheatcraft is getting ready to go
into surgery,” I glanced down at Tucker’s pale face, “and tell him it’s not
good.”
