Surgeon Ashore — Ann Jennings

She has her heart squared away…until it declares mutiny. Naomi Selborne is accustomed to looking men in the eye, and not just because she's unusually tall. She refuses to be intimidated by anyone, and bristles at the thought of anyone looking down on her, figuratively or literally. This particular surgeon, though, is different, and not just because he towers over her. Dr. Luke Roderick, former Naval doctor and handsome TV star, seems to think she should kowtow to him just like every other simpering female in the Accident and Emergency Department. She has her reasons for keeping her part-time hours instead of applying for a full-time position, and she won't let him prod her into divulging why. She should have known he'd use his charm and charisma to find out, anyway. But his reaction takes her completely by surprise-and she too late realizes her heart is sailing into dangerous emotional waters. This Retro Romance reprint was originally published in 1988 by Mills & Boon.
