Surgeon in Waiting — Clare Lavenham

“I strongly object to being mothered . . . “ Having lost his memory and broken his arm in a car accident, aspiring surgeon Chris Felgate takes a temporary job in a group practice while he recovers. And there he meets Nurse Nicola Craven, who seems to know more about him than he does himself.

For how is Chris to remember the weekend he spent in a seaside hotel with a lonely, jilted young nurse? And how can Nicola explain that, far from being maternal, her concern for him steeps from the fact that she loves him.
