How long could young Dr. Bob hide the terrible truth before Nurse Kane was forced to turn to another man?

Everybody thought Wanda Miles was too rich, too beautiful to be a good nurse. But she was. And her know-how included a plan to lure Dr. John Stamers into her arms.

When the brilliant young doctor turned his sights on Nurse Shirley Kate, the explosion was heard in every corner of Carrington Hospital…

Would the dedicated doctor Ellen loved see the danger she was in…before it was too late?

Ellen Stuart took the assignment in the little hospital in Caballo partly to see a part of the world her father had known and loved…and partly to get away from reminders of her fiance, killed in an auto accident. Ellen expected to find hardship and discomfort and discouragement in the tropical outpost village. She didn’t expect to find anyone like Dr. John Wilks — handsome, dedicated and convinced that Ellen wouldn’t want to stay. Or like his light-hearted friend, Dr. Anderson Bader, who went all out to persuade her not to stay. Above all, the lovely blond nurse did not come to Caballo expecting to become a target for murder!

Peggy Moore, R.N., worked hard at her chosen profession, and she was proud of being a fine nurse. But when it came to ideals and dedication, she couldn’t compare to her brother, Dr. Sam Moore. It was Sam who urged Peggy to join him for a year when he agreed to work in a small jungle hospital on the vast Peruvian estate of Shawn McGregor.

At first Peggy was unenthusiastic about being a nurse in a steamy jungle when she could perform the same chores in a comfortable doctor’s office. And she blamed Shawn McGregor for luring her brother down to his hospital. She grew even angrier at Shawn when her brother grew weak from overwork. But most of all Peggy hated Shawn for making her fall in love with him…when she had as much chance with the man as an icicle did in the simmering jungle.

It was fortunate that Portugal had always held a strong attraction for Nigel Baxter, for otherwise she might not have agreed to her uncle Evan’s request that she give up her vacation plans in order to take on a case there. Evan Baxter was one of David Wycherly’s doctors, and since Mr. Wycherly had suffered a leg fracture while vacationing at his home in Estoril, Dr. Baxter felt that Nigel could care for him and at the same time fulfill her wish to see Portugal.

Nigel knew that David Wycherly was a wealthy and powerful California man who had disowned his only child, Eve, when she married Allen Farrell against his wishes. And even when Eve and Allen had a daughter, David Wycherly never acknowledged her. Three years ago the Farrells died in a boating accident, and the old man relented at last and sent for his estranged granddaughter, Claudia. Now, according to Nigel’s uncle, the Wycherly family — David, his eccentric sister, Miss Clatie, and Claudia — was happily reunited after much celebrated publicity and a dramatically unhappy past. Nigel admitted to herself that the legend of the Wycherlys held a compelling fascination for her.

But when she saw the gray stone house — a castle in miniature — looming on a rocky promontory high above the ocean, she experienced a feeling of disquiet, unease — a feeling that was only to increase with each passing day in the Wycherly mansion.

She had to choose between an old love and a new…

Occasionally sad, more often humorous, here is the high-spirited story of Sara, a young nurse working in a busy Paris hospital. She had gone abroad to forget her past unhappiness, a broken engagement behind her. Then Don, her ex-fiance is brought into Casualty after a serious car accident. Ill as he is, Sara cannot tell him about Jimmy with whom she is falling in love — who escorts her around the exciting Paris night spots, who is taking up more and more of her time…
