The Captain's Nurse — Ruth Burnett

Tara Stanley had never thought of herself as being impulsive. But one moment she was engaged to handsome Ronald Vandermark, and then she suddenly decided that he was far too devoted to his demanding mother. So she left for the Florida Keys to become a private nurse to colorful Captain Hallam.

Even more difficult than Kezzie was the Captain's magnetic grandson, Hal Hallam. For her could be as warm as a kiss when he chose--and then turn into an iceberg!
