The angel and the professor

Gemma Prentice might have no looks to speak of, but she had something better - a kind and conscientious nature, which made her a wonderful nurse - to her patients she really was a 'gem' of a girl!

So when she unexpectedly found herself out of work, the distinguished Dutch professor, Ross Dieperink van Berhuys, unhesitatingly asked her to accompany him to Holland to look after his invalid sister. Gemma accepted - even though she knew Ross was never likely to see her any more intimately than as his sister's nurse...

Emma Hastings was a splendid theatre sister, and the devastating Dutch surgeon Justin Teylingen, who was visiting her hospital realised this. He had the greatest respect and admiration for Emma, but this wasn't quite the same as feeling love - and Emma knew that it was love she wanted from Justin.

But why would he see her as more than an efficient colleague when far prettier girls were his for the asking...?
