A Happy Meeting (The Best of Betty Neels)

All alone in the world, Cressida had little choice but to accept Aldrik van der Linus's help. He certainly seemed happy to fix her up with a job, and even to assist with her other day-to-day predicaments. Yet she couldn't help but wonder what he would do if she presented him with the most serious problem of all: unrequited love! Life could be worse But Cressida wasn't really sure how. Things had been bad ever since obligations had forced her to stay at home with her demanding stepmother. She'd even sprained her ankle while trying to help a mistreated dog, which left her stranded in the middle of nowhere. Then she was rescued by Aldrik van der Linus. The handsome doctor took an interest in her affairs and everything began to improve... until she realized that although she loved Aldrik, he only saw her as a patient, not as a woman.
