Nurse and the Crystal Ball

It would take more than a fortune-teller to solve Nurse Sue Whittier's dilemma: Should she tell her dying former sweetheart the truth, or should she leave him in peace and let his scheming wife and brother rob him...?

Clouded Future...
When Sue Whittier unpacked her suitcase, 3000 miles away from the nurses' dormitory in Maryland, she found a fortune-teller's crystal ball under her nylons. It was a friend's idea of a joke, but Sue -- who didn't believe in such things -- wished it could tell her what she was letting herself in for. She had driven to California to be with Dave Harding, the man she had walked out on seven years ago just before their wedding -- a dying man now who had written, begging her to come. And she had ... even though seeing Dave would mean seeing his half-brother, Marv, too -- the secret reason Sue had broken that engagement. Still, she was prepared for that. What she wasn't prepared for was finding another old love of Dave's at his bedside: Gloria, the blonde he had married on the rebound, the wife who had deserted him two months later and has now returned -- with a son she claimed was his. But was it true...? Sue didn't need a crystal ball to tell her that there was a woman who couldn't be trusted...
