When the important consulting doctor interrupts her supporting one of her nurses Staff Nurse Britannia Smith sends him back to the ward like a misbehaving child. Professor Jake Luitingh van Thien doesn't appear to like the Staff Nurse - while he is kind to the rest of the staff he is cold and shows no emotion to the splendidly built young woman. Despite his lack of encouragement Britannia decides she will marry him.
She doesn't have much chance to nurture their romance when the Dutch professor returns to Holland. But when a close friend invites Britannia along on a visit with her godparents, Britannia accepts it as a sign from the Fates and joins. She has no definite plan to forward their relationship, but that doesn't stop Britannia from hoping.
Britannia and her friend are surprised when the professor appears across their cycling path one day. When her friend accepts a proposal from a young man she meets at her godparents' Britannia is given the opportunity to spend more time with the doctor.
Jake invites her to see his Dutch hospital and he and Britannia spend significant time together. Their association is progressing as Britannia hopes, until she meets Madeleine de Venz. Madeleine is beautiful and sophisticated, coming from the professor's background, and has plans to marry the rich and handsome doctor.
The English nurse is swamped with feelings of inadequacy when she contemplates stepping between the professor and what she believes to be his best interests. Will Britannia marry her handsome doctor, or is the idea of love at first sight an illusion?
We follow another of Betty Neels's nurses as she attempts to find love despite her own inclinations and her chosen man's temperament. Readers of all ages looking for clean romance will enjoy another of Neels's stories.
