A novel by

 
 
Cleone Aston had always thought she was happy and contented enough, with her pleasant job as a reporter on a local newspaper, and marriage to her boy-friend Ivor in due course until she was offered, out of the blue, the job of editor on a fashion magazine. It would mean a move to London, a lot more money, an exciting life among exciting, sophisticated people - and a lot of challenge. But the biggest challenge of all, Cleone soon found, was her new boss Ellis Firse. It was not long before thoughts of Ivor faded fast, to be replaced by an overwhelming love for Ellis. But why should Ellis think of her at all, except as a rather recalcitrant employee? How could she ever hope to compete with the other girls in his life - the Karins and Annabelles and Marias who had so much more to offer him?
