The doctor who had saved Valerie's schoolgirl life and limbs had been charming and gay. When she met him again seven years later, fame had turned him into an unapproachable, dignified surgeon. But despite Doctor Axel Anton's changed exterior, Valerie found that her calf-love, far from diminishing, had developed into something much deeper and more mature. The fact that this love was not returned made no difference to its depth, and even Axel's debonair, handsome young brother Rudi could not fill the gap in Valerie's heart. Her unhappiness at last caused her to make a rash decision - but one that fate evidently did not intend her to keep.

Book Description

The doctor who had saved Valerie's schoolgirl life and limbs had been charming and gay. When she met him again seven years later, fame had turned him into an unapproachable, dignified surgeon. But despite Doctor Axel Anton's changed exterior, Valerie found that her calf-love, far from diminishing, had developed into something much deeper and more mature. The fact that this love was not returned made no difference to its depth, and even Axel's debonair, handsome young brother Rudi could not fill the gap in Valerie's heart. Her unhappiness at last caused her to make a rash decision - but one that fate evidently did not intend her to keep.
