Nurse at Deer Hollow

by Christine Bush

"A change of scene was what lovely young nurse Libby Greene decided she needed after she ended a three-year relationship with Dr. Adam Stone, and so she left the hospital and began a career of private-duty nursing. Her first assignment was at Deer Hollow, the beautiful, secluded country home of Charles Weston, where she would care for his wife. Although Libby had been certain that caring for one patient would be less taxing than tending to the needs of a number of patients in a hospital ward, she was surprised to discover that there were just as many, if not more, personal problems involved in private-duty nursing.
Fortunately, Mrs. McAdams, the housekeeper, is available to offer comfort and friendship to Libby. But when danger strikes, the young woman realizes that she is alone, that she must keep her own counsel or she will be forced to leave the house and the people she has come to love. Libby had come to Deer Hollow to reorganize her life, to pull herself together. Instead she found fear for her life and the excruciating pain of unreturned love.

About the author

Let me tell you a story! I love to write. My books are filled with characters that are near and dear to my heart, and my supreme wish is that you will feel the same way after you read about them.

My romantic mysteries contain an exciting array of love stories, different ages, different locations, even a few taking place in a different time. They are sweet romances, which means that even though those great feelings of attraction and passion as love builds between two people flow through my stories, you will not find any graphic descriptions of sexual interludes (and no graphic violence either, for that matter)on the page.

The list here includes short stories as well, a fun way to enjoy a romance when time is short.

New to the list are my new novels for middle grade students (grade 4-5-6), a series of touching and fun stories beginning with "Isabel the Invisible" in the series called "The Kids of Room 6A", and a soon to appear mystery and adventure series set in 1890 Montana. Stay tuned!

I'm a teacher and family therapist as well as a writer. I truly believe that love, in all its forms, is what makes life worthwhile, and that is a lot of the motivation that keeps me writing. I hope you enjoy what you find here! I love to hear from readers. Contact me at ChristineABush@aol.com
