Nurse in Yucatan — Adeline McElfresh

It seemed an answer to a prayer when Katy Jameson was offered a job as nurse to ailing young Connie Christopher. The Christophers were going to the Yucatan, where James Christopher hoped to unearth a precious lost Mayan scroll. Katy's father, before his strange, tragic death, had hunted the same treasure, and Katy longed to revisit the exciting, exotic land. Awaiting her, however, was a maze of mystery and danger. Who was the disturbingly handsome, oddly secretive Hank Forrest? Was it wise to be attracted to the brilliant, dedicated young Dr. Jose Santez? Local legends told of an ancient Mayan curse. Could the pretty nurse escape it as she searched for her path to love and happiness?

Hero: Dr./Doctor Jose Santez
