    About this ebook

    Overwhelmed by the COVID-19 chaos in her hospital, ICU nurse Melissa is comforted by newly-arrived travel nurse Courtney. Drawn to Courtney against her better judgment, lonely Melissa manufactures ways to spend time with her, and is encouraged by Courtney's obvious determination to woo Melissa, especially when she learns that Courtney did not volunteer to help out for purely unselfish reasons. After Courtney confesses she is looking for a partner and it appears she is very interested in Melissa, both are highly tempted to throw caution to the wind and see where their mutual attraction might lead.

    Both know all too well the dangers involved in letting their guard down, so the two nurses strictly adhere to social distancing rules even outside the hospital. But keeping their distance physically becomes harder and harder to do as they get closer emotionally. One night Courtney shows up unexpectedly at Melissa's apartment. Will Melissa be able to ignore the virus and just be one human loving another?

      In appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and devotion shown by all the medical personnel who put their lives on the line every day in the fight against COVID-19 despite the risk to their own health and well-being. It is an honor and privilege to work alongside them and know that they are there should I ever need their help. May you all stay strong and healthy!

      To my partner Elke, much gratitude for always pushing me to be a better writer and for having faith in me. You will always be my inspiration!

      Chapter 1

      Code Blue, ICU 6! Code Blue, ICU 6! Code Blue, ICU 6!

      Shit! Melissa dropped the supplies she was holding on the Central Supply counter. That’s my patient. I’ll come back as soon as I can for all this. The supply room guy looked irritated.

      Well, too damn bad if you have to put the stuff back. My patient is dying!

      Getting off the elevator, Melissa pulled her hair cover and N95 mask out of her scrubs pocket and hurriedly put them on as she headed for the double doors of the ICU COVID unit. She swiped her ID badge in the badge reader on the wall adjacent to the doors and they swung open, revealing the activity taking place all along the hallway. Melissa maneuvered her way past IV poles and crash carts and nurses’ laptop carts, and finally made it to room 6, where the code team was already at work on Joe.
