Cinderella Nurse
Cinderella Nurse
She was on call to an ungrateful family and off-limits to love…until her Prince Charming—a handsome doctor—set her free.
Her sister was too beautiful and too spoiled for her own good.
Her mother dabbled in mysticism on Rita’s salary.
Rita Ambler was young, beautiful…and a Cinderella Nurse
“Give it up,” Glenn Seabrook had said. “They’re using you, Rita. They’ll never change.” But she couldn’t abandon her family. And she lost Glenn. It all seemed so long ago. Before she became the wife to an alcoholic, mother to a son—and widow. At twenty-four, life held no more surprises for Rita Ambler.
Then came the accident that changed everything. That thrust Rita Ambler into the arms of Dr. Lester Wyman and out of the reach of his new protégé, Dr. Glenn Seabrook…the only man she had ever loved.
Am I “off-limits to love?” How would I go about finding out? Is there a list posted somewhere?

It’s a cause-and-effect statement: “on call to an ungrateful family”=”off-limits to love.”
Hey, big brother: even if no-one else appreciates you, I’m grateful for you. And I thereby give you permission to be “on-limits to love!” (*Smiling beatifically, touches grettir on the head with magic wand; glittering explosion of stars and Tinkerbell sound follows.*)

Little-known fact: There IS a list. And - what do you know - Santa Claus keeps it. The catch is that his TRUE character belies his roly-poly charming “ho, ho, ho” image. He wants PAY-OFF for being taken off that list. Bastard. Sorry - feel free to expurgate that part.
And you make sizable down-payment (a large number of small cash bills in a huge Christmas stocking which you arrange to have picked up by a surly elf), and he just keeps asking for more. Oh - a..friend of mine..told me about it.
