Children's Nurse / Valley of Flowers

~~~ first published by Mills & Boon 1957 as "Valley of Flowers"

Portugal... It was a new thing for the Marquez de Filano to find his ideas criticiszed or his orders opposed, and himself occupying a place secondary in a woman's thoughts to a four-year-old boy, Jacinto de Filano. He began to study this young English nurse with unexpected interest.

How wonderful to be offered the opportunity of working in Portugal's Valley of Flowers! But on arrival Nurse Linda Grey, assigned to look after four-year-old Jacinto de Filano, is shocked at the repressed, unchildlike life the little boy's leading in such idyllic surroundings. Determined to introduce more fun and freedom to Jacinto's young life, she faces formidable opposition both from his old-fashioned great-aunt and his handsome father, the Marquez de Filano — an overpowering and over-bearing man whom Linda dislikes intensely on sight. Could her feelings about her job and her employer ever change?
