The cocktail waitress

"Following her husband's death in a suspicious car accident, beautiful young widow Joan Medford is forced to take a job serving drinks in a cocktail lounge to make ends meet and to have a chance of regaining custody of her young son. At the job she encounters two men who take an interest in her, a handsome young schemer who makes her blood race and a wealthy but unwell older man who rewards her for her attentions with a $50,000 tip and an unconventional offer of marriage."@en
"The cocktail waitress tells the story of a beautiful young widow, Joan Medford, whose husband died under suspicious circumstances. To get by after his death, she takes a job as a waitress in a cocktail lounge, where she meets two new men: a handsome young schemer she falls in love with, and a wealthy older man she marries."@en
"Grieving widow or black widow?The day Joan Medford buried her husband was a fateful one--because before the day was out she'd meet the two men who would change her life forever. Forced to take a job waitressing to support herself and her child, Joan finds herself caught between the handsome young schemer whose touch she comes to crave and the wealthy older man whose touch repels her...but who otherwise would make a tempting husband number two. It's a classic Cain triangle -- brutal and sexual and stark -- that can only end in death. But for whom, the guilty...or the innocent?"
