A Nurse for Dr. Sterling (en Inglés) - Ruth MacLeod

Fresh from an exclusive finishing school, an heiress turns her back on society balls and country clubs to pursue the demanding life of a hospital nurse. She wants meaning, purpose, and the chance to be valued for who she is-not for the fortune she stands to inherit.

But the gleaming wards of a Southern California hospital prove far less welcoming than she imagined. The brilliant young surgeon she comes to love dismisses her career as a wealthy girl's whim and patronizes her at every turn. Her formidable supervisor watches her every move, ready to humiliate. Jealous colleagues plot against her. And when a brutal attack threatens her life, she discovers just how dangerous the corridors of medicine can be.

To win the trust of the man she loves-and the respect of the profession she has chosen-she must prove that her commitment runs deeper than wealth, deeper than privilege, deeper even than her own pride.
