Doctor's Orders
Jennings, Ann
After just one day working as theatre nurse, Isabel McKenna decided that the world of prima donna surgeons and pedantic anaesthetists was not for her - even if she was just what the doctor ordered for one particular cold-hearted consultant! Isabel had boasted that no man would ever reduce her to tears again, but Dr Mike Blakeney had come perilously close to doing just that.

Samhain reprint:

Out of the frying pain, into the fire of desire…
Isabel McKenna couldn't imagine anything worse than the misery that chased her away from Edinburgh. Now she wishes she hadn't allowed a broken heart to make her impulsively take the first job that presented itself.
Pediatrics was easy compared to dealing with the prima-donna attitudes of the doctors in County General's operating theatre. The cold gray eyes of anesthetist Dr. Michael Blakeney make her blush hotly -- and nervous a single mistake will bring him down on her like a ton of bricks.
Digging deep into her personal well of Scottish grit, Isabel is determined no man -- especially no arrogant doctor -- will ever again shake her composure. But when she glimpses a hint of lonely vulnerability beneath his steely eyed exterior, she finds herself all too ready to respond as a friend…and a woman.
