Join the authors at #MFRWHooks here http://mfrwbookhooks.blogspot.com for some intriguing excerpts Mine is found at https://wwweclecticwriter.blogspot.com and is from Romancing the Nurse
Ginny’s new job as patient care coordinator at a suburban hospital is a dream come true. She can raise her daughter and young niece away from the city.The older orthopedic surgeon who recruited her helps make the move easier. His stroke brings his son, another surgeon home to take over his father’s practice. Unfortunately, Ginny remembers him from an evening encounter at the city hospital where she worked. They had words. He also remembers that night.
They clash but beneath the anger, there is an attraction. Blake wants her in his bed and attempts to romance her. Then he discovers he wants her forever and must eat a lot of crow.
Excerpt:
“Hey,
Ginny,” a red-haired nurse called. “Any news about Dr. Marshall?”
“Which
one?” another woman asked.
“The
father. The son’s an unknown.”
How true,
Ginny thought. She reported her latest
visit and received reactions similar to Annette’s.
A short
time later, Ginny strode to the acute care area where fresh post-ops and those
patients who needed special care were admitted.
She stopped at the desk and studied the patient board.
Two of
the nurses stopped talking. Lisa
Kingsley smiled, but the blonde’s smile wasn’t friendly. Ginny looked for Betty Tawser, the third
member of the trio who opposed every change on the unit.
With a
nod to Lisa, Ginny left the desk and made patient rounds. When she finished, she starred several names
of those who could be moved to make room for patients from the ER, ICU or the
OR.
This
done, she made rounds on the rehabilitation section of the unit and called
Admitting. For the first time in weeks,
there was no overflow of orthopedic patients on any of the medical or surgical
units.
Wait until
winter, she thought. But by that time,
the nurses would have completed the educational program and the efficiency of
the unit would improve.
She
headed to her office. Her life was on
schedule, so why was the knot of anticipation expanding?
A rap on
the window broke into her reverie. A
grinning Annette peered through the glass.
“Girl, quit your dawdling.
Ginny
shook her head. She pictured the older
Dr. Marshall, subtracted years and added hair.
Pleasant. Maybe cute, but
hardly fantasy material. She
rose. “I’m on my way. Wouldn’t want him to accuse me of ignoring
him.”
“Won’t
happen. He seems as nice as his
dad. Run, don’t walk. Rescue him before Val drowns him in
sweetness.”
Ginny
frowned. Val -- Sweet -- impossible. The unit’s secretary was a mistress of the
rude put-down.
When
Ginny turned the corner, she stopped short.
A barely contained urge to run in the opposite direction caused her to
approach the desk with slow, measured steps.
Her hands
curled into fists. Dr. Marshall laughed
at something Val said and then turned to Lisa.
The knot in Ginny’s abdomen swelled into her chest. No way, she thought. She wouldn’t allow this man or anyone to
detour her from her chosen road. She
plastered a smile on her face that she knew didn’t watch the hostility she
felt.
