Critical Diagnosis (Love Inspired Suspense) Page 21

  Cara lifted her head and gave him a weak smile. She closed her eyes and pressed her palms together. She managed to say a few words before she slumped sideways on her seat and his heart leaped into his mouth.

  He willed the jeep to go faster, in a race against time to reach a place of safety where he could tend to her wounds, whatever they may be.

He allowed his protective instincts to come to the fore, having decided that he would do everything in his power to steer her away from danger. He suspected that she might rail against his authority, but he was adamant that she would not come to harm—not now, not ever.
