Navy Nurse

By Rosie M. Banks

“If you look like that, why do you need to say anything?” 

US Navy Nurse Alice Smith knows what she wants—and that’s suave, charming and wealthy Frenchman Jacques Stern. Unfortunately for Alice, Jacques has nefarious motives for squiring her around to Manhattan’s finest restaurants and clubs: He’s hoping her uniform, and her devotion to him, will gain him entrée into elite military circles where he can pick up juicy tidbits dropped at cocktail parties and dinner parties. Lt. Commander Morgan O’Neill has more substance than sparkle, and when he cannot outshine the stylish Jacques in Alice’s eyes, he accepts Alice’s refusals with dignity, content just to be her friend. But can he keep her out of danger after she has pledged to marry Jacques—and when Jacques’ shady allegiances lead her into a nest of treacherous vipers?
