Nurse Lauren's Challenge — Isabel Cabot

It wasn't the medical condition of Nurse Lauren's asthma patient that was the big challenge, it was her attitude. Thirteen-year-old Michalene Albright was a rebellious, moody brat. She resented Lauren's presence in the family's spacious Cape Cod home and made no secret of it. But once the young nurse understood Michalene -- and her hidden fears and emotions -- she was able to win the girl over.

If only Lauren could have understood her own emotions better. For she was caught in a whirlwind of confusion as her patient's handsome, domineering cousin, Bowman, and her attractive young doctor, Alex, vied for Lauren's affections while a sudden tragedy rocked the entire Albright family.
