Excerpt:
Alex mentioned name after name
until they reached the tall brunette at the end of the desk. Her lab coat
marked her as the unit’s nurse manager.
“Caleb, Jenessa Bradshaw, Acting
Nurse Manager. Her husband is Director of Nursing.”
“Glad to meet you,” Caleb said.
“Sorry about the grand entrance.”
She laughed. “You said what we
were thinking.”
“Don’t encourage him,” Alex
said. “Half the girls in high school followed him around.”
“The other half followed you.”
Caleb turned to Jenessa. “Why are you just acting nurse manager?”
“Our newly hired one was to
start two months ago but a family emergency intervened. She’s starting on
Monday.”
“She must be special.”
“She is. She’s a nurse
practitioner.”
“I’m impressed.”
Jenessa smiled. “Let me give you
a quick tour.”
Caleb walked beside her. “Is the
name of this new nurse a secret?”
“I forgot you weren’t here
during the selection process. She’s a friend from my class at Grantley.”
Alex nodded. “She’s one of the
infamous Grantley Gang. You were seldom home back then to know about their
antics.” He turned to Jenessa. “Are we holding a welcoming party to celebrate
the event?”
“I would tell you to ask your
wife but just the Gang minus Rick,” Jenessa said. “She’ll be tied up at Rehab
getting her brother settled.”
Caleb halted. “Just who is this
person?”
“Suzanna
Rollins,” Jenessa said. “She worked at City.”
Caleb held in a groan. Not her. Not here. He prayed his face
didn’t show his feelings. Of all the women in the world to invade his space.
Suzanna Rollins had no use for him. Their days of dating hadn’t ended well.
“Do you know her?”
Caleb shrugged. “I may have seen
her a time or two.” Or more. They had
dated for several months until the night he’d asked her to give up her job and
move in with him. All her expenses would be paid. All she had to do was warm
his bed.
His cheek still stung with the
memory of her reaction. She’d walked away. He’d managed to avoid her and leaped
at the chance to spend three months in London
on Respiratory Problems in Children seminar.
