Fate Holds My Destiny

by Rebecca Bennett

Still hurt by Martin's sudden desertion, Alison takes a job as typist to Joe Chorley, a successful author. Joe does not try to conceal his love for Alison, and when his alcoholic wife, Myra, falls into the sea and is drowned, malicious gossip accuses him of murder. Although the inquest clears him, Alison does not get in touch with Joe, believing her presence would add credence to the rumours. However, she finds that it is not so easy to escape one's destiny.
