Aloha Nurse

By Ethel Hamill

“You, nurse, there’s more starch in your face than in your uniform.”

Cosima Arnold is a nurse at the “ultra-scientific” Aloha Hospital. But all the science in the world won’t cure her broken heart: Her fiancé Dale Banning, away on business in London, has married an Irish beauty. Hovering in the wings, though, waiting to pick up the pieces of Cosima’s shattered world, is Dr. Perry Hilton, who has tossed aside his medical career to become a celebrity crooner at Waikiki’s most exclusive nightclubs. Can Cosima overcome her disdain for Perry’s desertion of the hospital world she reveres, or will Dale’s return from oversea—with a kiss and a new promise—win her back to his side?
