IF SHE WENT BACK TO HER OLD LIFE—WOULD SHE BE TRAPPED FOREVER?

Nell Shannon loved nursing and the world that went with it: the crisp white uniforms, the sparkling cleanliness of the hospital, the respect and admiration she earned. But one day the shrill ring of the phone brought Nell Shannon back to face the life she had worked five years to forget: the life in her parents' home in Fenton, in the Slash—on the wrong side of the tracks. This was the home she was forced to return to, now that her mother was ill and needed constant care. The Slash meant everything Nell Shannon hated—broken-down homes, terrible food, bare necessities, and utmost poverty. And most of all, red-haired, wealthy Dr. Tim Burrage, the man she abhorred more than any man in the world.

But Nell's return opened her eyes to even worse conditions than she remembered. Now a new nightclub had opened—and from what she learned, it was the center of a crime ring preying on Fenton's unsuspecting inhabitants. The hospital where Nell had worked was no longer just a center of healing—instead it had become a haven for the hurt and the terrified. And Nell, trying to protect a rebellious younger sister, found herself caught in a web of crime. Only one man—Dr. Tim Burrage—could help her.

Would pride prevent Nell from asking the aid of a man she detested? To survive, Nell had to face up to the truth she'd been hiding from all her life—about Fenton, about her family, about the young redheaded doctor she resented so bitterly, and most of all about herself.
