Remission

2021

He's my mentor and off-limits. So why can’t I stay away from him? As Dr. Carolina Ramirez’s career is taking off, she gets incredible news. Dr. Hector Medina, the doctor she idolized as a teenager and whose research she used to design her cutting-edge clinical trial, is joining her team. As her boss. But they say you should never meet your heroes, and Carolina is about to get far more than she bargained for. She knows a liaison with her boss is a bad idea. But in addition to the intellectual spark they share, there’s an undeniable physical connection between them she can’t seem to ignore. Then it all goes wrong and instead of explaining himself, he skips town, nearly destroying her—and her career—in his wake. Seven years later, he’s back and opening up old wounds she’d thought long healed. She’s recovered her career, her reputation, and her confidence despite his devastating betrayal. She should hate him. Instead, she finds herself drawn to him once again. Why can’t she get him out of her head? And why does her body still react to him after so many years apart? This steamy, slow-burn, medical romance has a wonderful happily ever after and is perfect for fans of Mariana Zapata, Alexis Daria, and TL Swan.

Contusion

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.\\\

Incision

2023

I can’t count the number of times I’ve been tempted to hand Dr. Logan Williams his scalpel pointy-end first. But I’ve maintained my professionalism since I started working under the arrogant—and extremely handsome—heart surgeon. So maybe thinking of working “under him” in any capacity isn’t a thought I should explore. Besides, he only sees me as his surgical technologist. Izel Estrada. When the contempt dripping from his wicked tongue grows, it only brings him closer to the scalpel—at least in my horror novel. How can a heart surgeon be so heartless? Or is he simply trying to mask his own attraction? This is a standalone novella in the Heartland Metro Hospital Series. All series novels have a guaranteed happily ever after and can be read in any order. Incision is a free novella only for Ofelia’s Reader Club newsletter subscribers. It can be accessed at ofeliamartinez.com/freebooks

Sensation

2022

I’ve been in love with Ramiro Jimenez since my junior year in college, and now, his fiancée is dead. No cause and effect between the two. Suddenly finding himself the sole guardian of two little boys, Ramiro steps into fatherhood. With his entire world upturned, drowning in his grief, he looks to me, of all people, for help he claims only I can provide. I became a nurse to help people, so there’s no way to say no when he asks for the unimaginable—to move in with him for a year. In exchange for my help, he’ll cover my room and board so I can pay off my nursing degree debt faster. Now I just have to figure out how my unrequited-lovesick heart will survive being forced to see him every day. Sensation is a steamy, slow-burn, forced proximity, single dad romance in the Heartland Metro Hospital series and can be read as a complete standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after.
