Summary
It had started innocently enough, a doctor helping a patient in a difficult circumstance to find her way. But the more involved in Lydia’s life Jack becomes, the more he can’t imagine his life without her.
Dr. Jack Dawkins never thought his downfall would come in the form of one of Rotty’s girls, much less one pregnant by another man.“Lydia, wait,” the doctor hissed, gently grasping her arm as she turned to leave the room. That made Lydia pause. Countless men had referred to her so familiarly. It seemed to have lost meaning. But none of those men knew anything about her; not like Jack did. And he had become Jack to her, at least in her own thoughts. But when had she become Lydia to him? And did it mean to him, what it did to her? With her next breath, she took the gamble.
“Yes, Jack?” His face was close enough to hers that she could see his eyes widen ever so slightly and his pupils dilate. Did that mean he felt it, too? The electric charge that she felt whenever they touched, the air prickling between them, the tension she had felt with no other man before? His next words were quiet, calm, but it felt as though they knocked Lydia on her back for all they winded her:
“Marry me.”
