A Woman in Love — Lilian Peake

There was no tenderness in Cormac Daly

He was scarcely even human. So when he fired Lynda from his London advertising firm, then offered her another job, she had to wonder at his motives.

He couldn't be suffering from twinges of conscience. It just wasn't in the man.

And when she discovered what the new job was, Lynch knew she was right. Anyone who could make such a chilling proposition obviously had no conscience ....

Hero: Cormac Daly
Heroine: Lynda Groome
