The Nurse and the Orderly — Florence Stuart

Pity had made Nurse Lacey promise to marry her patient; then the handsome young doctor came into her life…

“I dare you to fall in love with me,” he said.

Dr. Nat gave Nurse Lacey a slow, wry smile. Then his arms encircled her and drew her close. His lips brushed against hers.

Suddenly Lacey broke away. She was trembling. “I don't want you to think that kiss meant anything,” she said. “It was just a pleasant way to say goodnight. I haven't forgotten I'm going to marry Jeff Ward.”

But Lacey was lying. And both she and Dr. Nat knew it.
