Nurse Loreen’s Nightmare

by Merle C. Overholtzer (1981)
Nurse Loreen's Nightmare

When Loreen Tobin left her family’s ranch and became a nurse in San Francisco, she promised herself she’d never go home again. And the memories of her domineering stepfather — and of a heartbreaking tragedy — kept her away for ten years. But then a letter from her Aunt Lutie, full of mysterious pleading, finally convinced Loreen to pay her family a visit. Maybe, she thought, her mother needed her help — or her sister or brother.

Luckily, she met Jeff O’Dell, a handsome young writer, on her way back to the ranch. Without Jeff, her homecoming would have been unbearable. But even with his friendship and comfort, Loreen’s days at the Double T were a torment beyond belief!

Nurse Lily and Mister X

by Diane Frazer (1961)
Nurse Lily and Mister X

Why was her patient so hush-hush he could be referred to only as Mister X?

Who was Mister X?

Her first impression was a huge head with silver-white hair, a bristling mustache and fierce eyes. It was like seeing the Eiffel Tower or the Colosseum for the first time after having looked at it hundreds of times in magazines or on post cards. Lily’s professional smile was frozen on her lips.

Usually she would approach a patient briskly, her hand outstretched, and introduce herself. She had been taught how to do it in nursing school — with just the right amount of cheerfulness.

But this was a man who simply didn’t lend himself to this kind of approach. This was a man who had terrorized the White House, a man even the President was said to be afraid of…

Nurse Lavinia's Mistake

A big mistake! That’s what all her friends told Lavinia Bolland when she decided to change from a busy hospital to a girl’s boarding school. Worn out by the responsibilities of being a staff nurse, Lavinia didn’t agree with them. In fact, she found her new life unexpectingly rewarding!

Nurse Laurie’s Cruise

by Adelaide Humphries (1956)
Nurse Laurie's Cruise

A delightful and intriguing story of a nurse on a luxurious Caribbean cruise.

A nurse-companion on a Caribbean cruise sounded like fun to Laurie Fielding. But to make sure she got the job, Laurie tried to disguise her blonde loveliness before she went for the interview.

The first person Laurie met on the Bianca was Jeff Anderson, so much the picture of the man every girl hopes to meet on a cruise that Laurie was instantly put on guard.

As they cruised the exotic tropical islands, Laurie found herself paired off with the young professor writing a book on the West Indies and her beautiful employer with the attentive Jeff — with Laurie becoming more and more attracted to Jeff.

A delightful and exciting story of a young nurse in search of adventure — with both danger and love lurking for Laurie in the blue waters of the Caribbean.
