When a thoroughly “nice” girl is clever as well, let her less strongly armed sisters beware. Phyllis Gordon was completely honest and very intelligent. Terry McLean was her first and only lover, and she knew his declarations were sincere. But Phyllis cared too much for him to marry him until she had rid herself of her unrequited passion for her millionaire employer, Kenyon Rutledge.

Then Phyllis's little country cousin Anice Mayhew’s arrival in town spelled danger for both Phyllis and Letty. For Anice was dewy-eyed, super sweet . . . and diabolically innocent.

Crossways was a luxurious hunting and fishing lodge in the Blue Ridge Mountains, owned and operated by Judge Bramblett. The judge, retired from the bench, was assisted by his two granddaughters: Cherry, a pretty redhead with a warm, outgoing personality who loved the world and all its creatures; and her older sister, Loyce, depressed and withdrawn since the death of her fiancé fourteen months before.
