About this ebook

Facing my own mortality, I take a stranger to bed so I can feel alive. I’m in a foreign country and will never see him again, so what’s the harm? 

The only thing worse than cancer at twenty-four is having to keep it a secret. 

Worse still is trading knuckle wraps for head scarfs and mouth guards for IV drips.

Like I sought the best coach, my search for the best cancer researchers lands me in Kansas City, far from home and alone. 

But when I take the handsome and funny Rory Dennis home, I learn there is more between us than an insatiable physical attraction. 

I want to see him again, but can I keep my illness a secret from yet another person?

*This steamy, sports, and medical romance is a complete standalone novel. All novels in the Heartland Metro Hospital series can be read in any order.

Contusion is the second novel in the ‘Heartland Metro Hospital’ series and tells the story of Valentina, a MMA fighter who is diagnosed with a rare form of cervical cancer, and Rory, a doctor at Heartland Hospital where she is being treated. WOW! this story is soooo well written, the plot is an emotional rollercoaster, heartwarming, sweet, amusing and pretty steamy, the chemistry between them just sizzles! These wonderful characters are beautifully created insomuch as you find yourself really rooting for their HEA. Once again, Ms Martinez has excelled herself with her story writing skills. Another absolutely marvellous book that I couldn’t put down. A highly recommended five star read! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is book two in The Heartland Metro Hospital Series and it is Valentina and Rory's story and omg it is a must read. Valentina is a martial arts fighter but when she gets the medical diagnosis of cervical cancer she decides to not tell anyone and is now going to do a medical trial where they treat her aggressively so she can hopefully beat it and get back to her training with her coach and long time friend Chema but when one of her new friends suggest that she has a one night stand before her treatment starts she decided to do just that and that is how she met Rory the man she decided to spend the night with and never see him again but things don't always go as planned. Rory is a doctor at The Heartland Metro Hospital and while at the pub he sees a beautiful women and he really wants to get to know her but after they spend the night together she keeps trying to avoid him but while working he is shocked to see Valentina in a hospital bed and he is determined to be there for her as he has developed strong feelings for her. The chemistry between them is so strong and not and you can feel it sizzling of the pages and this book was so emotional and I was in tears but I still couldn't put it down and I loved how Rory just wanted to be there for her and I found myself hoping that everything would be okay as they were so perfect together. This book was a real page turner that you had to keep reading to see what would happen next and kept your attention right from the first page and on the edge of your seat until the last one. This is the first book that I have read by Ofelia Martinez but definitely not the last and I can't wait to read more of her books and I definitely recommend you read this book and you will not be disappointed.

I loved this book! I read book 1 in this series and snagged book 2 as soon as I could because I wanted to read about Valentina's story. Both books in the Heartland Metro Hospital series are steamy and filled with emotional moments, but this was my favorite of the two! Valentina is such a strong character and I felt very much in love with her from page one. If you like books that give you a steamy start, have an amazing cast of characters, and a sweet love interest, then this is the book for you!
