The Mistletoe Kiss — Betty Neels

Emmy was plain and mousy -- why would Ruerd look her way?

Ermentrude Foster helped the family by working at St. Lukes Hospital. She spoke her mind to the often impatient Professor Ruerd ter Mennolt, but he did offer practical aid with Emmy's difficulties.

Ruerd couldn't understand why, with a beautiful fiancée, he troubled with Emmy, but he still invited her home for Christmas in Holland.....then he had to find an honorable way to end his engagement...
