Some Men’s Dreams
by Eileen Dreyer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
SHE HAS
NO TIME FOR LOVE
Dr.
Gen Kendall has paid too high a price to let anything get in the way of her
dream. In one month she’ll be a full-fledged doctor. She just has to impress
her chief of staff, Dr. Jack O’Neill. She impresses him, all right. With one
swing of a softball bat she puts him in his own hospital and changes both of
their lives forever.
HE HAS
NO TASTE FOR LOVE
A
widower with a 12-year-old daughter, Jack hopes this move to Chicago will
signal a new life for them both. He doesn’t plan on finding himself literally
at the feet of one of the most compelling women he’s ever known. He certainly
doesn’t expect her to turn his life upside down when she recognizes something
in his daughter that could well break his heart. Is love enough to see them
through, especially when it means that not just Jack but Gen must face the
ghosts of their pasts to save his little girl?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
Dr.
Genevieve Kendall met the new chief of pediatric critical care at the house
staff softball game. More to the point, she knocked him out.
Literally.
Dr.
John Parker O’Neill, the handsome new wunderkind of medicine, who until very
recently had made his name in Boston by effecting near-miraculous saves of
desperately ill children, had this day decided to introduce himself to
Chicago’s Memorial Medical Center by pitching for the attending-physicians’
team that always challenged the residents on the field of battle the Saturday
after Memorial Day.
He
had so far pitched as near-perfect a game as anybody would have expected him
to. By the time Gen showed up late, because of a surprise admission she’d had
to finish, he’d helped the attendings trounce the hapless residents by a score
of fifteen to one. The residents promptly sent Gen in to pinch hit for their
own sadly overmatched pitcher.
For
Dr. O’Neill’s part, he looked unwrinkled and unflustered, standing out on the
pitcher’s mound in perfectly pressed khaki shorts and a peach Izod shirt, his
hawk-like features tanned and smiling, his gray-fingered black hair tousled
just slightly in the humid breeze of an early Chicago summer afternoon.
Gen,
on the other hand, looked as if she’d just pulled a thirty-six-hour shift,
which, in fact, she had. Stretching the kinks from a sleep-deprived body still
encased in wrinkled, Snoopy-decorated scrubs, she tossed her thick chestnut
braid over her shoulder and choked up on the softball bat.
“Come
on, weenie pitcher!” she taunted, much to everyone’s surprise. “See if you can
reach the plate!”
Dr.
O’Neill’s smile, a thing of controlled beauty, widened a notch. He tossed the
thick, scuffed ball a couple of times into his oiled and gleaming glove and
eyed his prey as if she were an amusing child.
His
first pitch was wide. Gen waited until the ball safely thunked into the glove
behind her to give her bat a few more practice swings.
“Big-time
doctor can’t even find the strike zone,” she taunted, which drew howls of
outrage from the infielders and another enigmatic smile from her foe.
His
next pitch was as sweet a strike as is allowed in slow-pitch softball. Gen
watched it arc into the afternoon sun and smiled with delight. She was winding
up even before the ball reached its apex. Feet planted, left shoulder slightly
forward, her whole body tensed for contact. The ball dropped toward her, and
she slammed into it as if it were the head of the last surgeon who had called
her an idiot.
The
crack of a solid hit could be heard into the next diamond. The ball shot
straight back the way it had come. Gen never even got the chance to drop her
bat or turn toward first base. She recognized imminent disaster before anyone
else.
Even
Dr. O’Neill.
“Oh,
shit,” was all Gen got to say before the ball, with unerring accuracy, slammed
into Dr. O’Neill’s forehead and dropped him like a rock.
