Blurb:
Abby Reid feels she’s been playing whack-a-problem for months. Her ex is behind on child support payments. Her angry teenage daughter. Her new business, a home care agency. All these areas vie for her attention. She believes she has solved the last major problem with the agency by firing her clinical supervisor, but this adds to her chores. Hoping the new patient, a private pay one will boost her spirits and bring success, she agrees to work the weekend day shift rather than call another agency and find the case being stolen. Will the new patient provide a break in the negative events in her life?
Doctor Jeff Grayson is the in-coming patient. He has been in town and working with his friend for a month. Jeff is a master of many things. At fifteen he started college and has degrees in English, Architecture and Computers. All this before medical school. He and his Harley met with a car and came out the losers. He’s a patient with casts on both legs and one on his left arm. Though his doctor recommends rehab, Jeff has a different idea. He is going home. Abby’s home health care agency is recommended. During their initial meeting, Jeff is snowed by pain medication and he falls in love with her voice. He has no idea of her appearance but he can dream and Abby is the object. When he wakes and meets her, will his dreams change?

“So he won this round.” Madge arched an auburn eyebrow. “All he’s talked about is being in his own bed. Hopefully, he understands that won’t happen yet.”
“I’ll do my best to persuade him.” “I hope you don’t fall for his charms. Every time I pass his room, I find half my staff clustered at his bedside.”
Abby chuckled. “Not my reason for seeing him. Home Caring is handling his discharge and home care.”
“When does he leave?” “I believe Dr. Woods is planning on tomorrow.”
“Not a moment too soon.” Madge laughed.
“What can you tell me about him?” “Do you have a month?”
“That bad.”
“Worse. He questions every detail of his care except when he deigns to take pain meds.” Madge shook her head. “Wanted the surgery done under local so he could advise. He attracts my staff like a picnic draws ants. Not that he encourages them.”
“I get the picture.” Abby frowned. “Just how old is he? I know he’s new on staff.” “Soon to be thirty. He earned his MD at an early age. Before he came here he spent four years at a clinic in Appalachia. Two months ago, he joined Mitch Thorne.” Madge chuckled. “If anyone can handle him, you’re the one.” She looked at Abby. “Remember our own Don Juan, the orderly, who tried and succeeded to seduce so many of the

Challeging setup for a romance, Janet!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a know-it-all patient. Mine were never the kind I'd have wanted to become romantically involved with, to be sure.
