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!
