Nurse April — Katherine McComb

Maybe her kid brother was right, maybe April Bonner was a jinx. From her first day on the hospital staff as a full-fledged nurse, things began to happen. A mob rioted outside. A knife-waving fanatic invaded Emergency and seized April as a hostage. A baby was kidnapped from the nursery. Nurses' training hadn't prepared the tall, attractive redhead for anything quite like this. It also hadn't prepared her for handsome young Dr. Ned Sparks, who didn't mind if April became emotionally involved with him, though he seemed to be serious about someone else, but who warned her about becoming emotionally involved with any of her patients -- a warning that came very close to being a tragic prophecy.

Hero: Dr./Doctor Ned Sparks
Heroine: Nurse April Bonner
