Hot Briefs
(2024)(The third book in the Carmichael Triplets Trilogy series)
A novel by Cynthia D'Alba
Two lovers on a crash course with reality.
Being an emergency department doctor means being a jack-of-all-trades and I love it. Sure, the hours are long, and cases can be demanding, and sleep is something relegated to other people, but I thrive in the environment until that one case comes along that knocks my feet out from under me. After such a case, I need to escape my life, my work, even my condo. I need to lose myself in the arms of a stranger, someone Ill never see again, someone who wont ask me questions about my job. Tonight is one of those nights. I see him in the hotel bar. Tall. Dark hair. Ridiculously beautiful. His suit fits like it was tailored specifically for him. When he laughs, angels sing. Hes the one. One night and Ill be fine tomorrow.
Being the single father of a pre-teen girl means I have very few nights off parental duty. I dont mind. I adore my daughter, but its been a while since Ive had a date, and even longer since Ive made love to a woman. I know a mistake when I see it, and taking the woman from the bar to a room in the hotel is a mistake, but I want her as badly as I want my next breath. I know who she is, but I dont tell her who I am. If she knew my secret, she would run, and I cant let her go. Not yet. Maybe, not ever.
One night wasnt enough for either of them, but their secrets, if exposed, will destroy both of them. The secrets tick like timebombs. Its only a matter of time. Two lovers find themselves on a crash course with reality.
