About the book
"A DANGEROUS MAN" The engagement of Julie Ames to Quentin Harrington was the high point of New York's brilliant social season. The beautiful black-haired girl was dining with her fiance when she first saw the man with the compelling grey eyes. At her question, she was told by Mr Brewster, a senior lawyer dining with them "He is known to be a dangerous man. A very dangerous man." Julie tried to ignore the interest she felt in the slate eyed stranger's speculative glances. After all, wasn't she soon to be married to New York's most eligible bachelor though Quentin's behavior led her to return his ring that night ? But a visit to her aunt's Maine hunting lodge threw a shadow across Julie's enchanted future. For the first person she saw when she arrived was Don Bruce, the slate-eyed stranger.
