The Best of Betty Neels: Year's Happy Ending (Harlequin Romance, 2692)

Professor Gideon Beaufort tried Deborah's good nature severely. He scorned her future as a trained nanny destined to spend her life caring for other people's children.

Yet was his proposal any more enticing? All he wanted was a substitute nanny for his young daughter and nothing more. "I won't pretend," he told Deborah candidly. "You see, I think I've forgotten how to love."

Deborah found herself wishing the sultry skies of Portugal's exotic Algarve weren't wasted on such a cynical widower and a dedicated nanny with stars in her eyes.
