Doctor of the Keys
Humphries, Adelaide
It seemed the happiest day of Julie Matthews' life when young Dr. Eric Blaine returned to set up practice in the Florida Keys. Julie had grown up adoring Eric, and now at last he would be able to see her--not as a coltish tomboy, but as a woman able to love and be loved.

But Julie had not counted on beautiful Paige Perry, who came to the Keys on a glittering yacht, and stayed to make a conquest of Eric. Or on the local prejudices that defeated Eric's every effort to win the islanders' trust. How could Julie, rival a sophisticated woman who knew every trick to ensnare a man? How could she stop a web of insidious rumor from destroying Eric's career? It took a tense medical crisis, and a gallant gamble of the heart, for the lovely young girl to find the answers.
