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.
