Can love survive scandal?

Sex, money and power -- for weeks, Griffin had been investigating what promised to be the worst scandal ever to hit the sleepy Rhode Island communities.

And then had the audacity to challenge Griffin Parker, hard-nosed newshound for the Providence Journal, to a race to the byline.

Would Griffin let this Jenny-come-lately rob him of an exclusive? A possible Pulitzer? Jill was talented. Jill was beautiful. But if she preferred rivalry over romance, that's exactly what she was going to get.
