Betty Neels

Would she ever be... ...married to her boss? Working a temp job for charmingly aloof Professor Sam Gervis was difficult enough for Polly Talbot, even if she hadn't begun to fall for him! He's already engaged to someone else and, besides, the sophisticated surgeon would never look twice at anyone as plain as her. But despite taking up a new career nursing children Polly soon discovers that Sam isn't an easy man to forget.... Especially when he...

Perhaps her dream of love was only a dream… "Working nights in a London hospital is no life for a young girl!" Her mother hadn't actually said it, but Judith knew she was thinking it. In a way, Judith agreed, but what else could she do? Marry Nigel? No, she didn't love him. She had no great feeling for any man-except Charles Cresswell-and that was certainly not love. But could her feeling possibly have any bearing on her agreeing to nurse his mother...

"Araminta Smith had first met Professor Jason Lister when she was hired to look after his niece and nephew. Knowing that plain but honest looks weren't about to catch her a husband, she was intrigued by the professor's proposal. A marriage between them, as he pointed out to her, would be infinitely practical, and Araminta was nothing if not practical. But then...what about love?"--p. [4] of cover.

So near. Yet so far. Life had not been easy for Henrietta Cowper, but she hoped to improve her lot. Then, shortly after she met consultant neurosurgeon Adam Ross-Pit, Henrietta fell seriously ill--and her small world changed forever. She had him to thank for her new job, and she was very grateful--and perhaps a little in love. But he didn't need to know that--even if he did continue to come to her rescue!

She was certain of one thing, Sophy's relationship with the attractive Dutch surgeon Maximillan Oosterwelde was of the blow-hot-blow-cold variety. He might be unsure of his feelings for her, but one thing she knew for sure, in her heart, Sophy did not want any "blow cold" at all!

When Jane needed help, she was amazed that it was the charismatic surgeon Nikolaas van der Vollenhove who tore himself away from his busy schedule to come to her rescue. A renowned workaholic, it was obvious that he had no time for anything - or anyone - in his life. Which was why his marriage proposal came as such a shock. Just why exactly did he want Jane for his wife, if it wasn't for love?

SO MUCH FOR AN EAGER GROOM! Amelia and Tom had been engaged a long time too long! She was beginning to worry about why he was so reluctant to set a date. So when her father first suggested that the three of them should have a holiday in Norway, Amelia thought that in such relaxed surroundings she and Tom would finally be able to settle their future. Instead, Amelia found Gideon van der Tolck often at her side, and his company became increasingly appealing....

Their lives will never be the same again... And these two young women refuse to settle for anything less than the love they deserve in these romantic favorites from Betty Neels.
