The Surgeon’s Marriage

Josie really hardly knew the surgeon Charles Demettre when he asked her to marry him. But any slight misgivings she might have felt at his hasty arrangements for their wedding - he was shortly to take up a new post in the Channel Islands, and wanted to take his wife with him - were stifled by the knowlegde that she was deeply in love with him. A few hours after the marriage Josie knew she had made a dreadful mistake. For she had discovered Charles's secret - and surely the fact that he had not told her himself must mean that he did not love her? How could she hope to make a success of their marriage when it was built on such a complete lack of trust?
