Counterfeit Kisses — Elsie W. Strother

Jill MacBride was tired of the sheltered life she led with her tyrannical aunt in a small Colorado town. So one day she simply moved to another town and got herself a job at a little yarn shop. At first she was thrilled with her new freedom. But Jill was soon beset by fears and questions and doubts. She began to wonder about the owner or owners of the shop -- and what their real business was. She began to grow suspicious of the “antique knitting machine” in the back room that she was never allowed to touch. And most of all, Jill had grave doubts about her new friend, Mike Stone, who was never far from her thoughts and never nearby when she needed him most.
