Title: A Betty Neels Christmas
First published: October 1, 2002
Description: *Two holiday romances by a treasured bestselling author celebrate the warmth and joy of the season.*

**A Christmas Proposal**
Dr. Oliver Hay-Smythe seemed to have met a modern-day Cinderella! 

Ever since Bertha's father had remarried, the kindhearted woman had been put upon by her family. She appeared to live in her stepsister's shadow, stuck doing the housework and wearing hand-me-downs! The doctor was about to change all that. In fact, he was about to change Bertha's entire world.

**Winter Wedding**
Emily was the envy of the nursing staff

She worked with the tall, handsome Professor Renier Jurres-Romeijn! Not that Emily considered her position enviable at all. She knew the great man's opinion of her--and she'd trade with the others any time!

Anyway, Emily shrugged it off. She was in the hospital to be a good nurse, not to win a beauty pageant! The professor's views showed just what a loathsome type he was.

But why did it hurt so when he found her vivacious sister, Louisa, so enchanting?
