Cinderella Nurse — Dorothy Worley

Gail Sherman had been promised everything that her Aunt Harriet's money and position could buy. All the lovely R.N. had to do in exchange was give up her home, her career, and the young doctor who loved her…

Time of Decision...

Everyone who knew Gail Sherman--her patients, the doctors she worked with, her friends--felt she was a "born nurse,” everyone except Gail. If she were really dedicated to her profession, would she seriously consider accepting her Aunt Harriet's fantastic proposal? Harriet Stone, one of Boston's wealthiest most prominent citizens, had offered to share her home with Gail, to introduce her to high society, to its most eligible bachelors...to have her take the place of the daughter Harriet had never had, now that Gail's own parents were both dead. What girl wouldn't be tempted? But was a life of luxury really what Gail wanted? And could she meet the conditions set by Aunt Harriet: could she turn her back on her "past" and on those who needed her and those--like Dr. Bill Mallory, the "boy next door"--who loved her? Or would she discover, perhaps too late, that others knew her better than she knew herself.

The Golden Trap...
"Was that part of our bargain?" Aunt Harriet said coldly when Gail told her about Bill's visit.
"But surely, Aunt Harriet, you didn't mean that I shouldn't remember an old friend who helped me when I needed him?" Gail protested.
Surprisingly, Aunt Harriet said then, "Let him come. Perhaps he should she the difference in your life now. But Gail, I hope you have the good judgment not to let this visit interfere with matters between you and Dexter. I'd like to announce the engagement at Christmas."
Gail sighed. She was caught in a web that she getting tighter and tighter. Soon there would be no way out...
