No Time for Love

When Betty Rice of the Redwood Valley Star launched her campaign to protect the bluejay, native to the valley, from thoughtless hunters, she expected some opposition -- but hardly a "war." There were the usual cancellations and anonymous phone calls, but then the cancellations multiplied and one phone call ended in a bomb threat. Betty, whose grandfather had founded the Star, wasn't about to be intimidated. And when the beautiful-but-far-from-dumb blonde learned of a "secret army" training somewhere in the hills, she wondered if there was any connection between the hidden camp and the violent reaction to her jay-preservation campaign. But before she could follow up the hunch, she was faced with two new challenges: a rival publication aimed at driving the Star out of business and an ultimatum from her fiance, Peter Symonds: give up the paper or forget about a wedding...
