Nurse Kay — Virginia Roberts

For Kay Fleming, nursing was a second career choice: she always wanted to be a doctor. And perhaps because it was second choice she was determined to be good at it. So when the man she loved, rugged young college football coach Duke Malone, was offered a job out of state and asked Kay to come with him, marry him, she refused. It would have meant giving up a chance to help organize the hospital's new disaster unit. It would have meant going back on her "duty"...But was she being a dedicated nurse when she sent Duke away--or was she only being selfish? It was a question Kay couldn't answer until a headline tragedy showed her the truth about herself.
