Alexander Blair was almost twice Lauri's age. He also owned the company where she was a typist, definitely out of her league. And he changed his girl friends at regular intervals. She despised that type of man. All they had in common was a strong, undeniable attraction for each other.

It sounded reasonable, so Lauri agreed. But in practice it wasn't working that way!
