Hard to Handle — Brooke Hastings

Roving journalist Catherine Ford Valkenberg had posed as a lady umpire and a cook on an all-male ship. Then her movie-star sister dared her to play a trick.

Her masquerade as a call girl threw her into the arms of straitlaced Doug Hunter. Dressed as "Vonda," Cassie was forced to test this upstanding man's honor as he came face-to-face with a woman of pleasure.

Against a background of murderous ambition and secret shames, headstrong Cassie and brooding Doug fought their private battles in search of a pure love that could bind them together...forever.
