Doctor January — Rhoda Baxter

Six months after a painful breakup from Gordon, Beth's finally getting her life back on track. She has faith in her own scientific theories and is willing to work hard to prove them. She's even beginning to see Hibs, her dedicated lab partner, as more than just a lousy lothario in a lab-coat and goggles. So when Gordon arrives back from America without warning and expects to be welcomed back into Beth's arms, she's totally thrown. She also quickly begins to see that Gordon isn't the man she thought he was … Hibs has always held a candle for Beth, but he can only wait so long for her to realize there's more to life than being patronized and bullied by the one who's meant to love and protect her. Will Beth foresee the explosive nature beneath Gordon's placid surface before he destroys everything she's worked for, both inside and outside the lab?
