The Tall Dark Stranger — Valerie Parv

She had vowed never to love again

The fortune-teller made a disturbing prediction for Lorinda. "You will meet a tall dark stranger who will take from you something you value."

The stranger materialized as Race Wolfendale, the illustrious actor, and he was intent on luring her into his arms. But her past had taught her that entertainers were irresponsible and fickle, and meant nothing but heartache. She refused to become emotionally involved.

But Lorinda soon realized it was too late. The "something of value" the gypsy warned he would take--was her heart!
