Valerie was once saved from a life in a wheelchair by the charming Dr. Axel Anton. Years later, when looking after his young niece in Vienna, Valerie comes across the doctor again. Her long-standing affections towards him are soon rekindled, but their budding romance, though steamy and exciting, sets off some dramatic turns. What makes matters more complicated is that the doctor's brother, Rudi, is the one who has proposed to Valerie. Do Valerie and the doctor stand a chance? A vintage romance novel by one of Ida Pollock’s pseudonyms, Averil Ives.
