Philippa had just settled in nicely to an absorbing job on the "heart page" of a big newspaper when she committed the car­dinal sin of dealing personally with a client. Worse, the young girl whom she encour­aged to elope with her boy-friend turned out to be the niece of her boss, the for­midable newspaper tycoon Marius Lyon! So although Philippa had never until then met the man, she was not entirely sur­prised when he promptly gave her the sack. But that was by no means the end of Marius Lyon, as far as Philippa was con­cerned! In fact they continued to meet— and to cross swords. Inevitably, it ended with her falling in love with him; inevitably, Philippa had to admit that nothing could ever come of it. For, even had Marius looked on her as a pro­spective wife, the glamorous Celia had every reason—and all the means—to see that he should never have her.
