Charade

by Joan Elliott Pickart

One moment writer Whitney Jordan was strolling the aisles of McNeil's Department Store, plotting the untimely demise of a soap opera heartthrob; the next, she was nearly knocked over by a real - life stunner who implored her to be his fiancee! The ailing little gray haired aunt who raised him had one final wish, he said - to see her dear nephew Tennes married to the wonderful girl he'd described in his letters... only that girl hadn't existed - until now! Tennes promised the masquerade would last only through the lunch, but Whitney gave such an inspired performance that Aunt Olive refused to let her go. And what began as a playful romantic deception grew more breathlessly real by the minute...
