'''''From fictiondb.com:'''''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gemma Prentice wasn't the most beautiful girl in the world: indeed, if anyone had described her as plain no one would have contradicted them! But she was a wonderful nurse, kind and conscientious to her patients - a real 'gem of a girl', in fact. Which was why, when she found herself temporarily out of a job, the distinguished Dutch Professor Ross Dieperink van Berhuys asked her to accompany him to Holland for a time to look after his invalid sister. Gemma was delighted to accept, and in no time had fallen in love with Holland. And there was an unexpectged bonus too, in the person of the devastatingly attractive Leo de Vos.....&lt;br /&gt;
