him, she gave him a look that
should‟ve put the man six feet under. Unfortunately,
Dr. Caleb Jackson wasn‟t the least bit scared or
intimidated. And why would he be? He was six feet
nine inches of brawny, heavily muscled, hot man.
Instead of being afraid, he just winked and blew her a
kiss. Lord, his mouth was sexy when he did that! The
things she imagined him doing to her with that
mouth…
“The evil eye doesn‟t impress me, Miss Lilly, and
I know what you‟re going to say, so don‟t bother.
Besides, I didn‟t mess with all those papers in that
chart.” He jerked a thumb at the man sitting next to
him, who just happened to be his identical twin. “It
was Connor. I swear.”
Connor gave him an irritated glance before
looking past him to the chart she had on her desk,
then back to the chart on his own desk. “Not my
patient, Caleb. Try again.”
“I‟m truly convinced you do it on purpose, Dr.
Jackson.” Lilly sighed and began rearranging all the
papers. Again.
“Which one?” Both men asked the question in
unison.

Lilly clenched her fist, crumpling the page she
had in her hand. She would hang on to her temper.
They could not shake her. She was a rock. A rock that
would like to pound both their heads.
“Which is exactly my point. If you have to ask,
then you‟re guilty. You just love to fuss when
something isn‟t where you can find it, yet you move
stuff around all over the place. Either stop it, or quit
complaining. It‟s that simple.” She knew she was
dressing him down like a general might a junior
officer, but she couldn‟t help it. Sometimes, it just had
to happen.
“You know, Connor, I think she might be serious
this time.”
“Get a life, Caleb, and quit messing with her.
Lilly has more important things to do than clean up
your messes.”
“You‟re as bad as me—you just won‟t admit it.”
“You‟re both horrible!” Lilly placed the chart in
the master rack. No further action was needed at
present, and the nurse could find the chart when she
was ready. “It‟s seven o‟clock, which means that I don‟t
have to take any more of your nonsense this week. I‟m
going home.”
Caleb opened his mouth to say something, no
doubt some kind of smart-assed remark, but Lilly
interrupted him.

“Not a word, or no nookie for you tonight. I‟ll
put out the word you‟re on restriction and no woman
will come within a mile of you.”
That usually shut him up. She always turned the
suggestive banter up when she wanted Caleb to shut
up. Sometimes, she even managed to make him blush.
Unfortunately, he did the same with her and managed
to do more than make her blush. Sometimes, the
images that popped in her head were positively panty-
soaking.
For good measure, she slapped the back of his
head as she passed by him. No one else could‟ve gotten
away with it, but she wasn‟t just some random
employee, bowing to the wishes of the brothers
Jackson. She was Queen Lilly, ruler of all she
surveyed! Well, ruler of this particular nurse‟s station,
at any rate.
“I‟ll spank you for that later, Lilly.” Caleb‟s eyes
twinkled, and Lilly wished to God Almighty she hadn‟t
looked back at him. The man was too damned sexy for
her own good. So was his brother. Both men were
exceedingly tall, but they carried more than enough
muscle to balance their height. Add midnight hair
streaked here and there with a silver strand or two,
along with piercing blue eyes, and they created a
package no woman could resist. Both men had been
the subject of many a midnight fantasy of Lilly‟s. It

was insanely easy to imagine all that male flesh
pressed against her and wrapped around her. They
might be identical in looks, but their personalities
were polar opposites. Caleb was playful, while Connor
was all dark and intense.
“You can try,” she quipped. It was an ongoing
game they played—one
