Inferno

Inferno
Danny O’Shay grew up knowing he never really fit in. His family avoids him. He falls so much that the staff at the local hospital know him by first name. And he can’t get a date to save his life.
Enter handsome fire fighters, Ben and Abe Lake, two men that bring every fantasy Danny ever had to life. Except Ben and Abe seem to have some business deal with Danny’s father that involves a ton of money and the assumption that Danny has a clue.
He doesn’t.
When Ben and Abe start talking about fated mates, shifters, and a family legacy that goes back decades, Danny is pretty sure they belong in an insane asylum. But as he gets to know the handsome twins, he begins to wonder if being crazy is that bad. Being alone again seems worse.
After someone starts trying to take Danny out of the picture permanently, he has to believe that Ben and Abe are trustworthy and not in on the plot to kill him, because they might be the only thing to keep his life from going up in flames.

Daniel O’Shay stared down at his arm, watching as the technician wrapped layer after layer of fiberglass and plaster around his broken wrist. He would be forever thankful for the pain medication the doctor had shot him up with beforehand or this would hurt like the dickens.
“Okay, Danny,” the technician said as he stood, making sure Danny’s arm was elevated just right. “Keep it just like that for another ten minutes while it hardens. And remember, don’t get it wet.”
“Yeah, I remember.” It wasn’t like they hadn’t done this before. This was not Danny’s first broken bone, and it probably wouldn’t be his last. Finesse was not his forte. Danny was kind of a walking disaster area.
The technician shook a finger at Danny. “Seriously, Danny. Keep the cast dry. We don’t want to have to replace this one like we did the last one.”
Danny winced. They had had to replace his last cast three times. It had been the middle of spring and the rainy season…so…yeah…that was Danny’s excuse. “I won’t.”
“Just be careful, Danny.” The technician smiled as he cleaned up the mess from the plaster and fiberglass and then carried his supplies out of the small emergency room cubicle.
Careful?
If Danny had been careful, he wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place. But, no, he had to go and trip, falling headfirst into a set of cement steps. Not only did he have a broken wrist but five stitches in the cut over his eye. By tomorrow, his face would look like he had gone five rounds with a prize fighter and lost.
He was a mess.
Again
.
Danny jumped when the curtain around his cubicle slid back. He settled just a bit when he saw a nurse walk in. He prayed that the papers she held in her hand were his discharge papers. He wanted to go home. He needed to go home. His head was starting to swim.
“How are you feeling, Mr. O’Shay?”
“I’m okay.”
“Those pain meds kicking in okay?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Good.” The nurse smiled as she patted Danny’s uninjured arm. “Now, let’s talk about how this happened.”
“Do we have to?” Danny groaned. He so didn’t want to talk about how clumsy he was. He had visited the emergency room so many times, everyone knew him by his first name. Well, except the nurse currently questioning him. She must be new. “Where’s Betty?”
The blond-haired nurse looked up from her chart. “Betty?”
“Nurse Thomas?”
The nurse smiled as went back to looking at her chart. “Nurse Thomas went home.”
“Oh.” Danny frowned as he searched his foggy, medicated brain for another name he knew. “Is Nurse Carter here?”
“I believe so, yes.”
“Can I talk to Nurse Carter?”
“I’m afraid Nurse Carter is with another patient right now.”
“What about Dr. Jones or Dr. Hannah?” Danny could feel his chest staring to tighten. He wanted to talk to someone he knew, not a total stranger. “I want Dr. Jones.”
“The doctor will be in to see you soon.” The nurse set her chart down on the counter and turned to face Danny, her face friendly but stern. “Now, Mr. O’Shay, about your injuries…”
Danny clutched his chest as he tried to draw in more air than he was getting. His lungs were laboring. Spots started to dance in front of his eyes, and he didn’t think they came from the medication the doctor had given him.
“Mr. O’Shay, are you okay?”
“In–inhaler,” Danny wheezed as he looked for the small pile of medications the nurse had taken away from him when he came in. “Need my inhaler.”
“Oh, Mr. O’Shay, you can’t have any other medication without the doctor’s okay.”
Was this nurse for real?
“Ne–need inhaler.” What part of that didn’t this lady understand? He was going to hyperventilate and pass the hell out if he didn’t get his inhaler in the next sixty seconds. Even now, he could feel his chest getting tighter. Breathing was getting to an all-time low.
Danny started to slide off the gurney to go in search of someone with a brain cell and an inhaler when the curtain slid back again and Dr. Jones walked in.
“Danny, what have you—good god, woman, why haven’t you gotten him his inhaler?” Dr. Jones rushed over and grabbed Danny before he hit the floor, pushing him back on the bed. “Where’s your inhaler, Danny?”
“Nu–nurse,” Danny rasped.
“Nurse!” Dr. Jones snapped as he started checking Danny over. “Find his inhaler.”
“Doctor, he hasn’t—”
“Now!”
The nurse paled and rushed over to the counter. She was back a moment later with Danny’s inhaler. Danny didn’t even wait to be nice and let her hand it over. He ripped the small plastic medical device out of her hand and took several deep inhales of the wonderful medication that magically returned his ability to breath.
After a moment, and a few good inhales, the spots dancing in Danny’s eyes faded away. This time, he slid the inhaler into his pocket, refusing to let the nurse get her hands on it again.
“Better, Danny?”
“Yes, Dr. Jones.”
“Good.” The doctor smiled as he made a few notes on the chart before looking back up at Danny. “So, what happened this time?”
“Cement steps, new book, coffee.”
It was that simple.
“Ah.” Dr. Jones nodded. “Not hot coffee, I assume.”
“No.” Danny laughed. “I gave that up the last time I tripped. I didn’t want any more burns. It’s only iced coffee for me now.”
“Good choice. And what have we said about walking and reading at the same time?”
Danny flushed, dipping his head. “I know, but it was Bellann Summer’s latest book and I had been waiting weeks for it. It’s that new series of hers,
Rescue For Hire-West
.” Danny gave a good groan and allover body shiver. “The guys in her books are to die for.”
The nurse made some sort of snorting noise.
Danny glared at her. He didn’t like this nurse. “When is Nurse Betty coming back?”
“Uh…” Dr. Jones glanced over his shoulder at the other nurse. “I wasn’t aware that she had gone anywhere.”
“The nurse said Betty had gone home.”
“Funny.” The doctor’s nostrils flared as if he didn’t find any of this funny. “I just saw her out in the corridor.”
