Medical Romance, Emergency Series

Melissa Clayton is chief operating officer at St. Joe's Hospital. She's excellent at her job and hopeless when it comes to fashion and relationships with men. When her mother needs an operation, Melissa insists on Doctor James Burke.

Burke has the manners of a Neanderthal and the people skills of a rock, but he's a wonderful surgeon. He's also the instigator of a job action suite that is causing untold stress for Melissa.

Can a doc with no bedside manner and an administrator with a BMW and no clothing sense find common ground? Or romance? Not without help from an unlikely source. Emergency romance at it's best!


AUTHOR INTERVIEW:
What was the inspiration for this book?
I love pitting drop dead gorgeous guys with no people skills against gals who are able to open hearts without surgery and see what the problem is.

Favorite character:
Rudy, the guy with the food trailer and no boundaries. Gotta love a natural born romantic!
