Romantic Story #85

A young woman's plan to marry a Greenwich Village activist troubles her mother, who shares a cautionary tale from her own past: the story of Aunt Ernestine, who fell in love with a Nazi officer during World War II, only to find herself caught between her family's hidden resistance and her heart's dangerous devotion. As the war turns against Germany and Ernestine's world begins to crumble, she must confront the true cost of loving a man wedded to a doomed regime.

Lindy's doubts about Tom grow when his friend Celia keeps inserting herself into their plans, but a surprise awaits when Tom brings her to what she thinks is just another evening out. By story's end, Lindy learns that trust—not suspicion—was what she needed all along.

A twenty-year-old woman reluctantly leaves her fiancé Tony behind to accompany her father on a European business tour, only to find herself dangerously drawn to a succession of charming strangers—Armand in Paris, Kurt in the Swiss Alps, and Rodney in Gibraltar—each one threatening to shake her certainty about the man waiting for her at home. As Norma questions whether her heart truly belongs to Tony or merely wanders with every handsome face she meets, she must discover what love really means before she returns to Fairhaven. Written by the creative team behind "Fickle Heart," this 1966 romance explores the difference between infatuation and genuine devotion during a summer that tests everything she thought she knew about herself.
