Flash of Emerald

Hope Redmond anticipated few problems when she traveled to the West Indian Island of Madenina to take over the job her spoilt cousin Tina had failed so dismally.

But when she encountered her new employer, the domineering Craig Napier, she realized that there might be storms ahead! What could she make of a man who had the conceit to tell her, "sooner or later all of my secretaries deluded themselves either that they were in love with me, or that I was hiding a secret passion for them?"

And yet ironically, Hope did fall in love with him. And quite apart from anything else, there were two women at least in whom Craig was, to out it mildly, interested -- and neither of them was herself!

Hero: Craig Napier
Heroine: Hope Redmond
