New Yorker Nurse — Dorothy Fletcher

Nurse Dinah Mason, almost twenty-six and still single, was happy living in glamorous New York City, deeply satisfied with her job caring for private patients.

Then one day Dinah met handsome jet-setter Dick Claiborne, and for the first time in her life she knew what love was…and how painful it could be.

Why was Dick so secretive about his life? Why didn't he introduce her to his family? She wanted to marry him, but what did he want from her?

When Dick took her to a luxurious isolated seashore house, took her sailing, wined and dined her -- and then tried to get her to spend the night with him, Dinah suddenly had answers to her questions -- and desperately wished her she didn't. Dinah realized that what Dick wanted did not include marriage -- and she had to decide whether to listen to her heart of her head.
