down the hall. “Not by a long shot.” He went in to Jane Doe’s room to check Kasie’s work. And to forget about that kiss that would keep him hard until morning.

“She looks like half a dozen other missing girls around here,” Donna said matter of factly to a few other nurses as JJ walked by.
“No I’ll bet that’s Sylvia Whittaker, the Governor’s missing daughter,” countered Mei, a pediatric nurse.
Jase shook his head as he walked by the nurse’s station on the first floor of the hospital. For the past three days— three days! —the entire hospital speculated on who the mystery woman could be. He didn’t give a shit who she was, he just wanted her gone before the Chief found out and had all their asses. He still couldn’t believe Kasie had found a way to keep her around and he intended to talk to her about it. As soon as he found her.
Right now she was doing rounds on the patients who’d come through the ER last night so he went to his office for a few minutes of shut eye. He would have her paged to his office so he could ream her out in private and maybe gets his lips on hers again. Other parts too, if she’s willing. That thought brought a smile to his face and he whistled down every hall until reached the closet he called an office.
He closed the door behind him and shrugged out of his white lab coat and sank into the comfortable executive chair he stole from the dermatology department. His shoes were kicked off haphazardly in a corner and his socked feet were crossed at the ankle on top of his desk. “What the hell is this,” he snatched a piece of paper up that sat on his keyboard. It was a list of all the missing women in the area who matched Jane Doe’s description, along with a note.
Since you have more free time than I do, call these families and find out if they’ve heard anything about their missing daughters so we can keep caring for Jane. ~KF
“Damn you Kasie, I don’t have time for this.”
“You don’t have time for what?” She strolled into his office without a knock or a care in the world and his menacing scowl did nothing to deter her. “Oh I see you got my list. Have you made any calls yet?”
Jase bowed his head, dragging his fingers through his blonde waves to stave off the growing frustration. “No Kasie, I haven’t. Why you ask? Because I am a surgeon, not a goddamn secretary and certainly not your secretary!”
She sat back with her arms crossed and slowly crossed her legs without ever taking her gaze off him. “I see.” She stood and looked at him with disappointment in her eyes. “I didn’t realize you only cared about saving patients on your operating table.” She plucked the list from his hands and turned to leave. When she got to the door she paused but didn’t turn around. “I’m feeling a bit under the weather so I think I’ll stay home tomorrow.” With that she left.
Chapter Two
Having a day off never felt so good. Kasie couldn’t remember the last time she had a day off and slept in until, she looked at her phone, eight thirty. She’d actually slept a full eight hours last night, ate a balanced meal with a glass of wine and watched one sitcom before falling asleep in front of the TV. The long night away from the hospital would have been perfect if it hadn’t been peppered by erotic dreams of a green eyed man with a sexy smile and a sinful kiss. Damn you Jase Jackson!
Luckily she wouldn’t have to see him at all today because she was going to do a little detective work to see if Jane Doe really was Holly. She grabbed Jane’s photo, the age progression photos she had worked up a few years ago to take with her as well as the photo of Holly at nineteen dressed up to go to a rock concert. Kasie smiled at the image. Her sister was all long legs, fire engine red lipstick and blonde streaks running through her hair. She was all attitude. She was
