Heart on Fire by Lina Langley

Riley
I don’t want to forget how I ended up in the hospital. I live with the risks of being a firefighter every day, but every single day I spend stuck in this hospital bed, I can feel my life slipping out of my hands. A burn is one thing, but now the doctor says that there might be something wrong with my heart.
I want to get back to my life. I want to get back to my job more than anything. But when I think about my life and Dr. Blackwell isn’t in it, it kind of scares me, and, well, maybe this hospital bed really is the best option for me right now…

I know better than to fall for a patient. How ripped he is, how many orphans he’s saved, that’s all irrelevant. I don’t want to fall in love with anyone after the end of my last relationship, a six-year long production–just so I could make my parents happy and proud.
I just want to focus on my career. Screw making my parents proud, I’ll make myself proud.
But Riley… he’s distracting. He’s not like any other patient I’ve ever had. He’s fun, and he’s interesting, and he has muscles for days, and did I mention that I genuinely think he’s saved a couple of orphans once?
It can’t happen, though. He’s my patient. And I’m not looking to fall in love.
I’m not looking for anything.
I’m definitely not looking for him.
