Brief Golden Time — Marjorie Vernon

All her friends told her that handsome, wealthy Paul Mansfield was no a one-woman man, that he was the kiss-and-run type, but lovely Vicki Clements could not believe it. She dared not believe it -- for she was already in love with him. And when Paul confessed his love for her, Vicki was thrilled.
