Synopsis

Sister Beth Anderson was something of an enigma to the staff of the Royal Hospital. Attractive though she was, there was a certain coolness in her manner which froze any attempts at friendliness. Only the kindly consultant Owen Hastings knew that Beth was still trying to recover from the deep hurt of having been deceived by her fiance and her best friend. But to the new R.S.O., Andrew Longford, she was merely a cold, sour disciplinarian, and the dislike he felt for her was only equalled by disdain of him and of his growing reputation as a flirt. So Beth was somewhat dismayed to find herself feeling jealous of Andrew's romance with one of the younger nurses. Was she, she wondered, in danger of becoming embittered? Should she then turn to Owen and his gentle, undemanding affection in an attempt to sort herself out?
