Pity the perils of poor Anna! Suspected of killing her cantankerous old aunt; in love with Captain Crediton who's gone off and married a wilting blossom from a tropical island; herded into taking care of their son through the proddings of her best friend Chantel. But thank heavens for perky, pretty Chantel. Superb, sweet, Chantel, the nurse who saw Anna's aunt through to the bitter end and now is ministering to the Captain's wife. Chantel is also promoting herself with the Captain's half-brother, the legal heir to the family's vast shipping interests. Involvements lead to the island of Coralle where Anna solves an older mystery of a burned ship and a cache of diamonds. . . . For all those other secret women--a mystery perhaps, but no secret.
