Against Doctor's Orders

There’d been a Rivers at the helm of Argyle Community Hospital for six generations, and Harper Rivers was set to take her father’s place whenever he decided to hang up his shingle. Unfortunately, the board of directors had other ideas?they were about to accept a buyout offer from the regional medical center and close the hospital’s doors to the community that depended on it. They’ve even gone and hired Presley Worth, a high-powered corporate financier, to oversee the closure. Funny thing was, no one asked Harper, and she had no intentions of following anyone’s orders but her own?no matter how beautiful, smart, or commanding the new boss might be.
