Estelle Courcy had a tremendous future as a model and dancer until she was terribly injured in a street accident.It was only by a miracle that Doctor Kildare managed to save her life. And in order to do so he had to make his priorities.Her shattered leg had to take second polace.Even if it meant she would never dance again. But Estelle Courcy couldn't acepot that Doctor Kildare had done the right thing,and she sued him for a king's ransom in damages.In doing so she placed him in an impossible position. For the only way he could only defend himself was to tell her in an open court a terrible truth about herself.Something she could not possibly know. And it was something which would destroy her.
