Few women could resist the handsome good looks and polished charm of Martin Graham, the brilliant surgeon. But Nurse Andrea Grey was one of the few; she had only dislike for this man who seemed to take pleasure in humiliating her. How different he was, she thought, from Godfrey who, lacking Martin's brilliance, was ever kindly, warm-hearted and considerate. But as the days went by and Andrea had increasing opportunities of watching Martin's untiring hands at work, she was forced to admit her first judgment had been hasty. For all his faults he was a man of character, never sparing himself any more than he spared those who worked with him. And Martin, too, was forced to think again. Accustomed to feminine adulation, he found himself increasingly drawn towards this cool, independent girl who never seemed to give him a second glance. In the circumstances, it was inevitable they should fall in love. Views: 60
