Throw Wide the Door — Emilie Loring

Moving from the excitement of sophisticated New York to the quiet of a prosperous New England village, Elinor Parks finally returns home. But it is it still the same sleepy village she once knew?

On her return, Elinor takes a job with Steve Sewell, the town's enigmatic newcomer. Young, handsome and very, very wealthy, Steve had come to the small New England town from out of nowhere. Everyone speculated about the mysterious source of the Sewell fortune, intrigued by Steve's claim that life was one big gamble.

Unwittingly, Elinor learns of plans for a daring bank robbery by a gang who will stop at nothing to keep her silent and is left with no choice but to trust the newcomer to help her outwit the ruthless criminals.

Throw Wide the Door tells the story of a gallant young girl, risking everything for the one man she can't live without.
