Travel ticket to romance.

The snow in Brentwood clung to the ground, and as Roberta Sterling, R.N., looked out the window of General Hospital, she felt her hopes dropping and drifting like the snowflakes. For Roberta longed for the warmth of summer.

Then it seemed she had found the road…as the private nurse of old wealthy Mr. Prescott, she would travel to California. But it was a strange journey for Roberta as she became involved with two handsome antagonists: Prescott’s blond chauffeur, Claud, and the old man’s rakishly dark-haired son, Elliott.

And as she reached the sunny beaches of her destination she felt her heart reach back home, where she had left the one man who could melt the snow in her heart.

After having been in Cleveland for three years in nurse’s training, Jenny Doone returned to her native state of Florida with glee. She had missed the warm breezes, the lush greenery, the sand and the sea; but most of all, she had missed David Whitney. Even though David was five years older than she and at best had treated her like a younger sister — fondly nicknaming her “Raggedy Ann” — Jenny had never lost her dream that one day David would fall in love with her.

And soon after Jenny began working for David’s uncle, Dr. Tobias Mason — known as “Doctoby” to everyone at Cutlass Key — she thought that her hopes for the future might just be realized. For David had just completed his necessary residency requirements and was planning to assist his uncle. Happily they renewed their old friendship, and with each passing day David came to know how important Jenny was to him.

But David had a dream, too — that of going to Thailand for a year to help a former medical-school friend establish a much-needed clinic. When David asked Jenny to wait for him, she said she would, hoping that time would disprove her nagging fear that she would never see him again.

Suddenly she was dangerously involved with her boss — a brilliant young surgeon, who didn’t believe in marriage.

All the women who knew Dr. Tony Gray agreed that he was too attractive for his own good — yet none of them could help falling under his spell.

When Jane Arden met Tony, first as his head surgical nurse, then as his latest romantic interest, she felt his belief that marriage didn’t mix with medicine made him “safe” for a girl who had an understanding with another man.

And then, abruptly, she found herself up against the most difficult question a girl ever faces…

Behind the scenes in a giant hospital, she discovered that medicine and men could be an explosive combination.

As staff nurse in a fast-paced university hospital, Jane Arden was sure her new job would leave her no time for men.

She was also sure she’d never forget the man she’d loved all her life, and had lost in a tragic plane accident.

But then she learned that time has a way of healing all wounds…and a new love a way of replacing the old.

Jane’s exciting new career at Cape Canaveral suddenly threatens her life as a woman.

As Jane embarked upon the most exciting adventure of her career, she was forced to postpone her marriage to handsome Jeff Wallace.

Jane had no way of foreseeing the personal crisis that would confront her as a “space nurse.” Nor could she have anticipated the lasting impact of the two attractive astronauts she met at Cape Canaveral.

Fascinating Clyde McLaren, a strong candidate for the moon shot, was brilliant and quite friendly. Or did he want more than friendship?

And what of the dashing continental Lieutenant who made it clear that he was more than interested in her? Just where did his interest lie?
