title: The Marriage Bracelet
author: Winters, Rebecca
description: "You will marry a tall, dark stranger."
  
  Heather Martin thought the old Gypsy's prediction was just a fortune-teller's cliche. Besides, the only "dark stranger" she'd met lately was the overbearing Nick Antonovic, whose son Branko had developed a fervent crush on her.
  
  It wasn't long before Branko's feelings for Heather, his English teacher, precipitated a crisis. He fastened a "marriage bracelet" to her wrist--a bracelet she couldn't remove because of its hidden clasp. A bracelet that once belonged to his dead mother, the Gypsy Ibra, whose hold on Nick's heart seemed undiminished.
  
  Then Branko disappeared. Heather had to help find him. And she had to fight her growing attraction to Nick!
