A Nurse for Galleon Key

By Ethel Hamill

“I’ll have to get acquainted with a new Simone. The one who can deliver a baby without mussing her hair.”

The handsome, dashing, deep-sea treasure-hunter Pete Enright swept Nurse Simone Greer off her feet when he breezed into her uncle’s study to discuss a wreck he’d located off the shores of Florida’s Galleon Key. It was a whirlwind romance—and when he returned to Florida, Simone was wearing his ring. Now, six months later, she’s finished her nursing job and arrived on the tiny island to plan the wedding. But Pete is proving more interested in tracking down his shipwreck than in pinning down a wedding date. Instead, his sarcastic, suspicious best friend, Toby Arnold, insists that he’s the right man for her. Could this sly, arrogant reporter possibly be right?

“An intriguing story of the Keys, its feeling of suspense deepening with each day that Simone Greer spends on Galleon Key—a place as fascinating as the people who live there.” Pottsville Republican, October 1957
