Prelude to Love — Marcia Ford

Amateur photographer Marie Dugas never dreamed she was headed for a strange and perilous adventure when she joined reporter Glenn Arlington to cover a story on a stranded French yacht off the Carolina coast.

She found herself being drawn to Glenn in mutual trust and admiration. But trouble began when Marie's ex-fiance, Anton, turned up mysteriously, begging for another chance.

When Marie accidently discovered a link between Anton's appearance and the suspicious French yacht, she went to the FBI -- only to be enlisted in a scheme that would endanger her life as well as her growing love for Glenn.
