Valentine #3 September 1966

George takes Jill to Norsea for a holiday, settling into a quiet routine—bed early each night, as he insists, “one goes on holiday to rest.” But Jill can’t settle, her restless spirit pulling her out each evening into the castle’s shadowed halls. When she’s caught flirting with a tour guide, George locks her in the dungeon, a stern warning in a place where secrets linger and doors don’t always stay closed.

Kay’s heart races at the sound of Rod Reason’s voice from the pop pirate ship Phoenix, but when her friend Gerry dares her to board the ship and ask him for a dance, her obsession takes a bold new turn—especially with the vessel anchored thirty miles away.

Margie, believed to be the runaway Princess Margarette of Plaryina, flees her escorts in Paris and seeks refuge with her English boyfriend Ted. Together, they take shelter in an art gallery—only to find themselves trapped when the owner recognizes Margie for who she truly is.

In a twist of fate and deception, Jane Smith—known only as Miss Mystery—finds herself trapped in a web spun by Pete Dexter’s publicity man, Dirk Sump, who claims she’s a fugitive. When she stumbles upon an old newspaper revealing the truth, her memory begins to stir, and the lie Sump has built starts to unravel. But with Bob and Jezebel watching from the shadows, the real danger may not be what she remembers—but who she’s been told to be.

Ruthy’s boss has made the same joke for years—each time a coworker leaves to marry, he teases her about doing the same. When the joke finally wears thin, she snaps and announces she’s leaving to get married, too. Suddenly, everyone’s pitching in to buy her a wedding gift, and Ruthy’s guilt grows. Stevie urges her to come clean before she needs a reference from her old job.
