City Hospital Nurse

Generation gap.

Because of her love for the grandparents who had given her a home after her parents had died, Geraldine Greene had always wanted to specialize in geriatrics. But she soon learned that elderly patients were reluctant to put their trust in a too young and too pretty nurse. So Geri decided to be what her patients wanted her to be -- plain, old-looking and, therefore confidence-inspiring. She didn't stop to think that while such a masquerade might further her nursing career, it could hamper her personal life -- not until Jilson Watts III was wheeled into the emergency operating room at City Center Hospital. Jil, who looked at the real Geri and saw "an angel...beautiful...worth dying for." But the next time he saw her -- curly hair sleeked backed, laughing eyes veiled, dimpled smile sobered -- he did not recognize her.
