Some might call it a proposal. Violet Burton knows it's blackmail, and she refuses to give in. She won't marry the unscrupulous banker who holds the mortgage on her Virginia home. She'll find employment in New York City, earning enough to pay her debts before returning home. Virginia's where she belongs ... even if reconnecting with childhood friend Michael Heaton makes her long to stay permanently at his mother's boardinghouse.
