Nurse in India — Juliet Armstrong

Can one bury the past? Put it behind one forever?

Nurse Stella Hantley, traveling in India as secretary-nurse to kind Miss Jellings, would have answered “Yes” to that question. She found it hard to believe that she had ever danced on the stage and dreamed of becoming a star; and the episode which had shattered her career was little more than a shadowy memory.

She was safe now and could reach out to take the happiness which Roger Fendish, she knew, was on the point of offering her -- and then Allegra, lovely and treacherous, came suddenly back into her life, seeking for a second time to rob her of all she valued.
