Author Description

Christina Leytele Had Always Been Independent. She Ran A Successful Hospital Placement Service In California, And Now That She Had Come Home To Spend Her Vacation With Her Family, She Decided She Would Prefer To Live Alone. She Moved Into The Gatehouse At The Entrance To A Compound Of Old Mansions. Here She Was Free From The Constant Carping Of Her Socially Ambitious Mother; Free, As It Happened, To Plunge Into A Romance With A Man She Knew Only As Jed. She Accepted Him Without Knowing Anything About His Past Or His Present, Or Even Why Some Of The Residents Of The Compound Called Him Doc. Then As Suddenly As It Began, The Idyll Ended.--dust Jacket.
