Young Doctor Goddard

Staff nurse, Philippa Stanton was overjoyed at the prospect of three months in Nepal with a medical unit from the Central, which included Steve, the houseman she loved. But tragedy struck, and she went home to River House to nurse her invalid mother.

With Steve in Nepal, she was thrown together with "the boy next door", the infuriating, outspoken Dr. Paul Goddard, now a registrar at the Central. As he reorganized her life, she found herself torn between two sorts of loving and caring, between home and hospital, and gradually, between two men.
