Mouth to Mouth (Lakeside Hospital #5)

Sparks fly as a people-pleasing paramedic and a hardened ER nurse clash in the final installment of the bestselling Lakeside Hospital medical romance series.

Sarah would do anything for her friends. Whether it’s dog-walking, babysitting, or even planning someone else’s wedding around her demanding paramedic shifts, the word ‘no’ isn’t part of her vocabulary. But everyone cracks under pressure eventually, and unfortunately for Sarah, her breaking point comes one day when she’s delivering a patient to the Emergency Room and finds herself the focus of the nurse’s attention, instead.

When a cute paramedic passes out in her arms, Veronica wonders whether there’s anyone left in the world who can take care of themselves. First her long-time girlfriend cheats on her, then she expects Veronica to comfort her about the betrayal, and now the paramedics are dropping like flies. She hydrates Sarah – and lectures her on not letting her friends take advantage of her – and ignores the surprising chemistry that builds between them while Veronica is at her bedside.

Even though all their Lakeside friends are coupling up, it would never work between them – Sarah’s too malleable and Veronica has an iron will. Once her mind is made up, that’s it, because if she’s wrong in the ER, people die.

That’s why she’s not swayed when her ex shows up unexpectedly to collect her things from their apartment, or even when she makes such a fool of herself that the ploy ends with an emergency call. But when Sarah is the responding paramedic and Veronica watches her give mouth to mouth to her ex, something stirs deep inside her.

Could this tender-hearted fool be the soulmate she’s been waiting for all these years? Unless Veronica can break her cardinal rule and give Sarah another chance, the chemistry building between them is doomed to remain hypothetical.
