Esmeralda
Esmeralda Jones was a very nice girl. It seemed to Esmeralda that she was also invisible to the opposite sex. Perhaps the real reason for this was the impaired foot she had struggled with since childhood. When the brilliant surgeon Thimo Bamstra offered to cure her, Esmeralda was over the moon. Thimo also managed to mend her broken heart. Esmeralda had never imagined marriage as part of her future, but now she could dream of little else.
Hannah
Falling in love wasn't in the job description Little Paul van Eysink was a very special case to nurse Hannah Lang, and she had become very fond of his young parents, Corinna and Paul. When they invited her to go back with them to Holland until the baby was completely recovered, Hannah was only too happy to oblige. The problem was Corinna's stubborn uncle, Dr. Valentijn van Bertes. He could fi nd no fault with Hannah's nursing skills, but she was too well aware that she meant little to him as a person. Why should she? After all, he had a very lovely fiancee in Nerissa.
An Apple from Eve Euphemia hadn't wanted to let her family home in Spain in the first place and now Doctor Tane van Diederijk wanted her to go to Spain to be companion to his fiancee Diana, it was really just too much. If only she could see the back of both of them!
Polly
Working for Professor Sam Gervis was difficult enough, even if you hadn't fallen in love with him. But Polly had. Luckily she was realistic. Sam was engaged to the lovely Deirdre, and besides, he would never look twice at anyone as quiet and mousy as her. So Polly sensibly decided to get away and take up a new career nursing children. But she soon discovered that Sam wasn't a man to be escaped from easily
