SYNOPSIS:
Diagnosis: Sleep-running
Treatment: Truth
Prognosis: Beautifully Awake
Lili Porter hates the rain. Bad things happen in the rain. As a small town
social worker dedicated to protecting children, she is forced to start
over to escape her rural disaster. Determined to follow her father’s
advice—head up and chin high—Lili finds herself in a new city, taking
on a new system, this time healthcare. In doing so, she gets something
she never expected, an intimate behind-the-scenes look at life in the
hospital.
Lili learns that a surgeon’s hands have the power to heal more than
physical wounds. And a prescription for truth can cure three years of
sleep running and leave you beautifully awake.
EXCERPT:
He was already dressed for the OR in his scrubs, looking ... amazing.
The beat beneath my chest started again and my mouth watered, as I
not so subtly roamed his body with my hungry eyes. All I wanted was
to feel his body against mine, get lost in where I ended and he began. It
was all I’d ever want. Forever. I finally got what he meant every time he
said mine. He was mine.
“See something you like?” He smirked.
“Mm-hmm.”
“Baby, if you don’t stop looking at me like that I’m never gonna get out
of here.”
“Truth. Sounds perfect to me.” Now I smirked.
“Ahh fuck, you’re killing me. You know scrubs don’t hide a hard-on very
well.”
I laughed. He had a point there.
Leaning down, he kissed my nose. “Text you in a bit, see how your day is
going...”
“K.”
So was this my life? I sunk back into the fluffy pillows and sighed. I
wanted this to be my morning every morning.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS:
Yep. That's an “s.” There are two of us!
We’re East coast girls separated by Long Island Sound who met in
Physician Assistant School and have been besties ever since. We can
safely say that thirteen miles of water does not get in the way because
we talk or text, no exaggeration, at least 150 times a day. No, really, we
do—about everything and nothing. Shockingly, we never (we mean
never) run out of things to say. Umm, ever. We definitely laugh A LOT
and we’re a tad sarcastic. And if we’re being totally honest, one or two
people might have, on occasion, used our names and ‘dramatic’ in the
same sentence. But it’s hard to trust the sources since they married us.
It only took twelve years, two husbands, five kids, two dogs, and a two-
week vacation in Cape Cod later to decide the romance world needed a
splash of medicine. Write what you know.
So you can easily find us at 4 o'clock on Bank Street beach with a glass
of cold Prosecco brainstorming. And guaranteed if we bump into you,
literally, it’s only because our iPhones are glued to our hands (totally
out of our control) either writing or editing our next novel (and yes, it is
possible to do from your iPhone, we mastered it … damn those straight
quotations).
When we are not working on our book or reading the latest angsty
romance on our kindles, you basically name it and we have it going on.
Soccer, lacrosse, golf, swimming, dance, gymnastics, football, chess,
baseball, basketball, skiing, ice skating, school, homework, and more
school.
Oh yeah, did we forget to mention our careers in medicine?
Needless to say, we realized fast that something had to go, so we opted
for sleep. It’s completely overrated (yet so AMAZING) and delirium
makes everything funnier. Good thing we share a brain and can pretty
much complete each other’s sentences (definitely weird, we know),
otherwise it might have taken us two years to write Beautifully Awake
rather than one.
So that’s our story, who we are … just add AUTHORS to the list!
