Comfort the injured and heal the sick, this was always my calling. So, when I had the opportunity to learn my craft from none other than the wonderful Miss Florence Nightingale herself, a glittering future opened up before me. \u003cbr\u003eAnd now, I am in charge of my own hospital, a young woman forging a successful and honourable career. I could not be happier, prouder or more content. I have all I ever wanted. All I have worked for, hoped for, is within my reach. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy, then, do I find myself drawn to a wealthy businessman who just happens to be the chairman of the hospital board? Jared Blackstock may be handsome as sin, but I am a respectable, professional woman. Such dalliances are not for me. Or so I thought, until that fateful evening when he taught me exactly who is really in charge at St Barbara's Infirmary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJared\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome might describe me as a philanthropist, a social reformer, even. They would be wrong. I am a man of business, a man who likes to make money and intends to continue to do so. I know full well that my wealth relies upon the labour of others. So, I pay fair wages. I educate the children of those who work for me. I even feed them and provide decent homes for their families. My workers are happy, and I prosper. I am not a do-gooder. I am simply a man who knows how to get things done. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo, when the Nurse Manager of the hospital I am trying to establish fails to take proper care of my greatest asset - herself - I will step in. Miss Grace Miller will learn that I always protect those who matter to me, whether they appreciate my efforts or not. I know what the delectable but oh-so-proper Miss Miller needs, better than she knows herself. She may fight me if she wishes, she may even fight her own desires, but I intend to emerge the victor in this battle of wills. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWarning: \u003c\/b\u003eThis book contains sexually explicit content which is only suitable for mature readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ashe Barker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8533876335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798533876339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.43d","brand":"Ashe Barker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44540698427647,"sku":"9798533876339","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08a7c59d-6b8f-47b2-8231-fd2c94c8b5a9.jpg?v=1700589376","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/graces-lover-ashe-barker-9798533876339","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
