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…

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!

Could Nurse Lucie keep the man she loved from a woman who had suddenly returned from his past?

Was He A Man On The Run?

Nurse Lucie couldn’t help wondering about handsome Dr. Warren. He was the most skilled surgeon she’d ever known, and it seemed strange for a man of his talents to bury himself in a small country clinic.

Everybody at Guale Farms wondered about him. There were fantastic stories, lies and gossip, but nobody knew anything for sure.

And then one day something shocking happened and Nurse Lucie learned the secret Dr. Warren wanted so desperately to hide. But did she find out too late? Was she too much in love with him by then to care?

Nurse Lucie was reprinted a few decades later as Nurse at Guale Farms.

For lovely Cheryl Lanier, nursing wealthy, elderly Trevor Rutledge at his magnificent estate seemed a routine assignment. But that was before Rutledge’s nephew, Victor Lawson, arrived.

Perhaps Cheryl should have known better than to fall in love with the handsome playboy. Certainly there were those — especially the young lawyer, Carl Drew — who warned her about Victor.

But Victor’s promises drowned out all warnings — until, amid sudden tragedy and scandal, she heard a different voice: that of agonizing doubt. Had she made the greatest mistake of her young life? Had she given her trust to the wrong man? And how could she know for sure before it was too late?

With Miss Eden’s gift, Madeline was able to help Surgeon Michael Foley realize his dream — a new nursing home. Only, somehow, the nearer it got to completion, the more convinced Madeline became that her efforts were on behalf of the wrong man.
