Stay Until Dawn

Jocasta was not a cold ambitious career woman...but she was good at her job--TV news anchor. She also enjoyed a challenge, which was why she'd come from England to New Orleans to broaden her work experience. However, she didn't need the experience she'd gain from the kind of assignments her boss, Christian McCoid, was handing her. In Jocasta's eyes, they were designed to keep her down. Well, she'd show Christian he didn't need to hold her hand every step of the way. Not that she could ever imagine such an aloof, arrogant man truely holding anyone's hand.... From inside front cover: "How much do you know about alligators?" Christian McCoid's question brought Jocasta abruptly out of her daydream. Puzzled, Jocasta looked at her boss. Was that some kind of trick question? Or the start of a joke? Could he be about to embark on an anecdote before they settled down to business? "Nothing," she replied. "Why?" "Because there's a farmer who has one that he rekons is lovesick. Apparently the family keep it as a pet." "You want me to do a story on that?" Jocasta asked, her enthusiasm cracking down to ground level with a deadening bump. Christian nodded. "For St. Valentine's Day. We usually sign off on an amusing note and Al the alligator languishing for lack of love sounds perfect."
