Danger in Paradise — Suzanne Roberts
Jennifer -- Jenny -- Stevens thought that being a public stenographer at a plush hotel on Miami Beach was just about the most glamorous things any girl could imagine.
Meeting blond Mark Kettler, lifeguard and swimming instructor at the Embers, added to that glamour.
Even the work was fun -- except perhaps for Miss Cadden, a retired opera singer who was writing her memoirs, and who needed a copy editor more than she did a stenographer. The two zany playwrights in the penthouse suite even asked Jenny for her advice and approval. And there was Nate Cramer, the nice oilman from Texas -- but of course he came later.
Before she met Cramer, Jenny had met Alicia Connor, daughter of the famous and still beautiful actress, Carla Connor, and she had met Rick Rossario, the darkly handsome Cuban desk clerk -- and felt the first hint of danger.
Rick wanted to bring his family to the United States -- and freedom -- and Jenny resolved, against the advice of Mark, that she would do anything in her power to help him. Was not Rick's grandfather a famous surgeon who would be an asset to America?
How could Jenny meet the requirements of her job -- her boss, Edie Stock, while usually good-natured, could be brusque and stern -- and at the same time help with getting the money to meet the demands of the owner of the Windcrest.
