Book 3 in the Vital Signs series.

Joanna Watson and Harlan Wilkinson are married now, and also working together every day at Covington Community Hospital. But the long hours and busy schedules are starting to take their toll on the relationship——they're both soon finding that married life isn't all it's cracked up to be. With almost no private time to themselves any longer, Joanna and Harlan search for ways to spice up their sexual relationship on the job.

Meanwhile, the nursing shortage has led Covington Community Hospital to do something it's never done in its 85-year history——hire a male nurse. Billy Hartzell——a handsome, athletic 22-year-old fresh out of a big-city nursing school——is a fish-out-of-water in small-town Statesville. The young female nurses don't exactly know what to think of Billy, but the one thing they do know is he's smoking-hot.

Soon, all the single ladies at Covington Community Hospital are jockeying ruthlessly for Billy's affections. Billy jumps right in, and partakes of the pleasures that are offered him by the flirty young Starla Berring. But in the end, he only has eyes for one nurse in particular——a shy, virginal young woman named Dana.
