Cassandra by Chance


Betty Neels - 1973
    But when she learned he was a brilliant Dutch surgeon who had severely damaged his sight in an accident, her attitude changed. Benedict asked Cassandra to go to Holland with him as his nurse. She agreed…and soon began to feel something deeper than sympathy for him. But with his close friend Paula nearby, why should he even notice Cassandra?

Nurse at Noongwalla


Roumelia Lane - 1973
    And there she met — and crossed swords with — the autocratic boss of the camp,Grant Mitchell, who told her, ‘There's no padding around in this job, Miss Leighton. Just dust and drought and a twenty-four-hour day.’ She would show him she wasn’t afraid of hard work — or of him! Things looked up considerably, fortunately, when she met the friendly, attractive local doctor, Lloyd Downing, and a growing friendship developed between them. Yet somehow, somewhere, Alex was aware of a curious feeling of emptiness — an unsatisfied feeling. Why should she feel like that?

Dangerous Stranger


Lucy Gillen - 1973
    So she deeply resented it when that infuriating Keith Scott seemed to go out of his way to suggest that her heart wasn’t in the affair. Perhaps it wouldn’t do for Keith — he was, after all, half Argentinian and had the Spaniard’s haughty outlook on women — but in that case why didn’t he just leave Melodie alone and concentrate on his own fiancee, the temperamental Maria Santas?
