Georgia
All my life, I've played it safe. Being a bigger woman, navigating the world in the safest way possible was a no-brainer. I've dated the safe guys, picked a safe career, and stayed close to my family.
But all it's gotten me is a boring life with nothing to show for it. After turning forty last year, I found myself still single, working more than ever, and now, all my sisters are married and having babies.
The only excitement I have anymore is the patient in room 341.
However, Hunter is a pain in my ass. He ribs me constantly, takes nothing seriously, and his flirtatious banter is a ruse to get my guard down so he can get one thing—a conquest.
So then why does it always work? And why am I having such unsafe feelings about a man young enough to be my son?

I've been in and out of hospitals with a faulty liver all my life. Which sounds like a terrible thing—if not for Nurse Georgia.
Although fifteen years my senior, she's the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen. So, I spend every chance I get to flirt with her, hoping that one day it's enough to make her say yes to a date.
Then one day, she lays it on me: stop this now. I don't want to be the butt of your joke. What joke is that? I realize that all this time, acting like nothing matters made her think that she doesn't matter, and that's the falsest thing I've ever heard.
So, with more than one ticking clock ahead of me, I have to rectify what I took too far and show Georgia how much she means to me.
No, I have to show her I love her—need I say more?
