Teaser Tuesday: Enter Trouble with a Capital T
So this week's teaser introduces us to a new character....and a potential new love interest for Emma. Thus, why I'm calling him Trouble with a Capital T! You may have heard of him mentioned in the book blurb over at Literati Literature Lovers...That would be Dr. Alpesh "Pesh" Nadeen.
Shall we take a peek at him before we read his scene with Emma?!!
Sure, he's out of his scrubs and white coat here...but hello??!
He's going to play into the sequel quite a bit...he's a 180 from our all-American boy Aidan, but he's also a 180 in all the right ways of wanting to settle down with a wife and child. They first met when Patrick was taken to the ER with chest pains(the earlier teaser where Aidan and Emma see each other again for the first time). After she's put on bed-rest, he wants to get to know her better.
****ROUGH DRAFT & SUBJECT TO CHANGE******

****ROUGH DRAFT & SUBJECT TO CHANGE******
Pesh’s closeness caused her heartbeat to accelerate. His
woodsy cologne, the heat from his body, the tousled dark hair she wanted to run
her fingers through—it drove her to distraction. Breathing normally like he had
requested was completely out of the question. Instead, she managed to draw in
several harsh pants. Pesh’s dark eyes swept from the stethoscope up to hers. He
took the buds out of his ears and smiled knowingly. “Either I’m making you
nervous, or you need to get back to the hospital for your erratic breathing and
heartbeat.”
She felt a warm flush creeping across her cheeks. “No, it’s
you,” she murmured.
He cocked his eyebrows. “So you’re saying if Dr. Pendleton
were here taking your vitals you wouldn’t be reacting this way?”
Laughter sputtered from her lips. “Of course not.”
Shifting his body, he leaned in closer to her. His dark eyes
penetrated hers. “Why do I make you nervous, Emma?”
Her mouth ran dry, and she licked her lips. “Because…” You’re so damn good-looking, and your
fabulous body kicks my pregnancy hormones into overdrive, making me think things
about you I shouldn’t. But more than the lust, you’re kind and compassionate,
and if given the chance, I could see myself falling in love with you.
Emma exhaled the breath she had been holding. “You confuse
me.”
“I confuse you?”
Staring down at her hands, she said, “I still care very
deeply for Aidan, but when I’m with you, I start to feel…differently.”
“So I at least have a chance to woo you?”
She snapped her head up to stare at him. “To woo me?”
Pesh laughed. “Not a word you would usually use?”
“Not exactly.”
He tilted his head in thought. “Hmm, a chance to romance you
then? To wine and dine you?”
Emma smiled and pointed to her belly. “There will be no
wining, and with my bed rest, our dining is going to be a little limited.”
“Ah, but that’s why I brought food to you.” He rose off the
couch. “Let me go get it, and we’ll commence our wooing.”
He winked at her, and she laughed. “Okay.”
When Pesh got to the door, he stopped and turned around. “As
long as I have a chance to win your heart, Emma, I’ll take whatever you can
give me.”
