Nurse in Spain — Ethel Bangert

Redhead Kathy Cassels, tired of the operating-room scene at Sea View Hospital, was delighted to be offered the exciting opportunity to visit Spain as nurse-companion to the wife of the famous novelist David Wind. Not only would her duties be light, since Rodda Wind's condition was more emotional than physical, but Kathy would have the pleasure of the handsome author's company.

Before she knew it, they had arrived in sunny Malaga among the vistas of sea and mountains utterly breathtaking to the girl who had never before traveled. Everything around her seemed totally enchanting, especially the magnetic personality of David--which, Kathy knew, she would have to ignore no matter what her heart was telling her.

Don Canberra, David's rugged, green-eyed secretary, was trying to tell Kathy something, too. Ever since he had met her, he had eyes for no other girl, and in his awkward, fumbling way he hoped she would share his feelings.

What started out as a simple trip to Spain turned into a tangle of jealousies and misunderstandings when the Wind party accepted the invitation of Count Jose Muruzza to be his guests at his estate, the Casa Francisco. Count Muruzza--tall, dark, aristocratic--was quite taken with Rodda's blonde loveliness; and although Kathy knew that Rodda blamed David for most of her illness, she could not bring herself to hope that Rodda would leave clear the way to David's heart.
