About the book
E.R. Professionals: Dr. Declan Haversham & Lila Bailey, R.N.
Lila Bailey fainted at the sight of blood! So her sudden decision to become a nurse shocked her boyfriend, medical student Declan Haversham. He doubted she could give up her expensive clothing, her jet-set lifestyle. Not to mention she was scattered and disorganized--charmingly so! Declan's refusal to take her seriously was painful, but her mind was made up. Lila left him....
Eight years later Dr. Declan Haversham returned to his hometown hospital, and there in E.R. was Lila Bailey, R.N.--in charge, in control...a complete professional. Now they had to find a way to work side by side. But the bitterness of their breakup and the lingering passion made that seem impossible!
