About the book

Obsession . . .At last Merrin Ryan has completed her medical training and is out in the real world, working on Dr. Neil McAlister's surgical team. Merrin admires his professional skills, but clearly Neil, who has been widowed for two years, doesn't take proper care of himself. So she provides him with sandwiches and tells him to get proper rest -- and, in nurturing him, she falls passionately in love.Neil's feelings for Merrin as just as intense. How puzzling, then, that he tells her they must stop seeing each other; that his love for her could damage her hard-fought-for career . . . .
