Valentine #16 December 1967

Michael Green asks Glenda to marry him, but she’s sworn never to wed a man who works in the mines after her father’s death in a colliery disaster. Seeking distance, she meets David Farr, a medical student, and the two grow close. When David proposes, he urges her to be certain she’s truly over Michael before saying yes. Together, they return to her hometown—just as the mine’s alarm hooter sounds, pulling David toward duty despite Glenda’s fears.

Cherry Foster finally speaks her truth to her family, pouring out years of pent-up emotion—only to face a devastating revelation when Colin Bates, the man she believes loves her, accepts a ten-thousand-pound bribe from Sir Jeffrey Renshaw to walk away. With Felicity watching and the weight of expectation pressing in, Cherry must confront the fragile line between love and loyalty.

In "A Place in the Sun," Kathy finds herself unexpectedly traveling with Bruno, a man whose polite demeanor clashes with the circumstances of her captivity—though he insists he’s in danger if his men discover his mistake. With Bernice Vinson’s presence lingering in the background, the tension between trust and fear grows as their journey takes them further from safety.
