I obliterate his enemies, I annihilate all threats, and I avoid any distractions-especially the kind that wants to spend the night after. So I should have crawled away from the stunning blonde who found me bleeding out in the park. And when I realized how truly awful she was at stitching me up, I should have run. But once she stroked my head just right, I couldn't go anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen again, she thinks I'm in a coma.

At least the mauled rabbit I rescued last month is doing great-I will pass the wildlife rehabilitator license exam this next time. I'm sure of it. So, when I stumble upon an injured man refusing to go to the hospital, of course I help him too. Not because he's perfectly sculpted from Italy's finest marble, but because \u003cem\u003ehe needs me\u003c\/em\u003e.
