A Dedicated Daughter

One of my favorites, A Little Moonlight is a sweet story of a selfless daughter caring for a selfish mother when a very handsome Dutch doctor enters her life. The doctor works very hard and expects his staff to do the same. It takes a little while for the doctor to realize Serena is the girl for him. But once he makes up his mind, he will not be deterred. Recommended.

Selfish Mothers ... Kind Daughters. . .

Book Description: Her New Boss Meant One Thing -- Trouble! Looking after her invalid mother, Serena had accepted long ago that the bright city lights were not for her. Not that she minded . . . Hardworking and quiet, she was perfectly happy with her life --until the Dutch consultant Marc ter Feulen turned it upside down. As her new boss, he was arrogant and demanding. As a man, he was altogether too attractive for Serena's peace of mind! Serena Proudfoot had no social life. She worked to support her "invalid" (aka selfish, lazy, and demanding) mother then care of the household and her mother after work. Her new boss correctly diagnosed her mother's "delicate" condition immediately and knew he had to find a cure. Dr. Marc Dijkstra ter Feulen was a Dutch Baron, eminent consultant, rich, good-looking, demanding, arrogant, and accustomed to having things done when and as he said. He was a demanding boss and expected a lot of his employees ... however if Serena wanted to be fair, she had to admit that he gave more than he expected from others. He was not like anyone Serena had ever before encountered; perhaps she was quite up to the challenge of working with him; especially when she was developing a serious heart problem.

A giddy social whirl was not for Serena

COVER: "Serena Proudfoot had long ago resigned herself to looking after her invalid mother. Quiet, hardworking Serena was only too glad to be of service. Dutch consultant Marc ter Feulen changed all that when he became Serena's new employer. Arrogant, demanding and apparently blind to the interests of anyone but himself, he was not the sort of person Serena had ever before encountered. She was quite equal to the challenge, however. Her only problem was that in spite of all her efforts, she was falling in love....."This book is one of my favorites, because, if ever a heroine needed rescuing, it's Serena. She's not a nurse, but a secretary, and her mother is not really an invalid, but, as our hero puts it, "Selfish widows with loving daughters were still only too common, and this small, neat girl with beautiful eyes deserved something more in life." And thus begins the adventure that takes Serena to Holland, and then back to England. Through great changes in her life, and Marc's faithfulness to watch over her, Serena cautiously opens her heart to the possiblity of a love for a lifetime. If you like Betty Neels books, then you will be on familiar ground with this one, and, as always, you'll be happy in knowing that this little downtrodden, but deserving "Cinderella" does, indeed, get her Prince!
