The doctor prescribed fun for Nurse Roanna — and she chose the playboy…

When Roanna Evans’ attractive colleague, Dr. Bill Benton, prescribed a change of pace for the overworked hospital nurse, he felt uneasy at the surprise job opportunity offered her.

As she got a taste of the new life her position as a nurse in a luxury department store gave her, Roanna felt her spirits revive…much to Dr. Benton’s growing displeasure. For, besides her glamorous job, there was the disarmingly handsome Ted Holland, her employer’s son, who wanted to claim as many of Roanna’s off-duty hours as her on-the-job ones.

Romance had always taken second place to the more serious demands of nursing for Roanna — and she was determined now to enjoy the fun she had long missed…with Ted.

And Dr. Benton was rapidly regretting the medicine he had prescribed for his favorite nurse…

Unusual assignments were nothing new to Grace Vincent, R.N. Yet few were as strange — or exciting — as her nursing stint with a movie company shooting a science-fiction epic on a desert. To Grace, the world of the Hollywood actors and crew seemed as awesome as the distant planet in the film, and she felt like a mere mortal among gods. But the movie people all became her fans when she defied the stubborn director in order to save the life of a stuntman. Even Cliff Mercer, the director himself, became her admirer once he’d simmered down. That was how their romance began. But something warned Grace she could never keep the interest of a man like Cliff, always surrounded by the country’s most beautiful, fascinating women.

Nurse Julie’s job was her whole life. Could she risk losing it…to find herself as a woman?

“I’m not going to ask you to marry me,” Ken said — and Julie felt the words like a blow. For one awful moment she was speechless. Then her angry, hurting words rushed out. “I don’t want you to ask me to marry you! I wouldn’t even if you did!”

After all, why should she? Her fabulous job — the job that meant so much to her — was waiting. Who needed Ken?

But her heart lurched, for not until this moment had she admitted even to herself that she was in love with him.

“Think it over, those of you who have something to conceal — are you certain that the soft-walking, starched young woman to whom in your weakness you talked so freely — are you sure it was not myself?”
