The Hart of the Matter by Carolyn Faulkner
Candy Travers needs money. Her mother is failing fast, and she is drowning in debt, even though she is working two – and sometimes three – jobs. Her friend suggests that Candy apply to the same government facility she works at. It will be more money and better benefits if she can get in.
It isn’t a job for a thinking person; it’s mostly janitorial, really. Until the day their trainer/manager asks for a volunteer to help her with a "special" patient. Dr. Hart Redmond was a golden boy in his time, but that ended the night there was an accident in his lab that changed everything for him.
Since then, Hart has tried to make his handlers see that only men should be coming in and cleaning his room. But he can’t stand incompetence and stupidity in anyone, male or female. And after he’s driven away the last one, they have no choice but to take who they can get.
Enter Candy Travers.
