Could He Fairly Ask Her To Take On So Much . . .

Book Description: She'd do anything for the children's sake. . . . Georgina Rodman had been given a special nursing assignment -- she was to look after the Van den Berg Eyffert children, who were recovering from an accident. Having worked in a casualty ward, Georgina felt she could cope with just about anything life threw at her. That was until she met the children's guardian, Julius! She realized that even common sense and a practical nature couldn't stop you from falling in love . . . with a man who didn't even know you existed. Casualty-Accident Staff Nurse Georgina Rodman had met Professor Julius van den Berg Eyffert, Senior Consultant & Anesthetics Specialist when his children were brought to her hospital after being involved in an accident. She was surprised to find that he was a bachelor and not their father but guardian. The Professor arranged to have her "on loan" to help with the children during their convalescence. Initially she felt Julius did not like her but tolerated her for the children's sake. He was Dutch/British with family homes in both countries; she enjoyed spending time with the family at Dalmer's Place in Essex and Bergenstijn near Utrecht. She felt Julius was quiet; kind, giving, and self-sacrificing with the children; but indifferent to her. Georgina found herself wishing she could be with them, and especially Julius, permanently. How could she fall in love with someone who barely knew she existed? Perhaps, she was wrong. Perhaps, what she interpreted as lack of interest may have been something else altogether. A nice, somewhat different, Neels story. Paul & Maggie van Biejen Doelsma from "A Match for Sister Maggy" appear; they are friends of Julius. Julius & Georgina are mentioned in "A Small Slice of Summer" Julius & Jason are friends; Georgina and Latita's elder sister Margo are best friends.
