"Romance Has a New Jackie Collins! The author has unleashed fireworks of sexual combustion!"--David Gould, Gould Features Syndicate

"Sizzling Sensuality Set in the raw world of modern NYC journalism ... the individual characterizations and the sensual overtones of this story are its strength--the people are complex and believable, and the love scenes are pulse-racing! Beloved Enemy should not be read unless an amorous partner is near!"--Kathe Robin, Romantic Times

FEELING RESTLESS, Caroline moved forward in her chair and opened the briefcase on the table. Slowly and deliberately she reviewed its contents. Yes, she had all the necessary papers. Yes, she had certainly done her job, thoroughly researching the complaint. Aware that arbitrations were costly in terms of time and money, she had made a real effort to settle the grievance beforehand. All the angles were covered, and she ought to feel confident about today's hearing.

Yet she didn't. She felt apprehensive. Why?

Her gaze traveled around the paneled hearing room of the American Arbitration Association. The tall, thin, gray-haired arbitrator was standing with his back to the group, talking on the wall telephone, the pretty female stenographer was setting up her electronic equipment, and Burt Matlock, the attorney handling the legal side of The Mirror's labor disputes, was seated next to Caroline. He was discussing his case presentation with George Thomas, The Mirror's director of labor relations. At 9:45 a.m. the Newspaper Guild's team had not yet arrived. Obviously they're dragging out their appearance to the last minute, intending to keep us on our toes, Caroline mused wryly.

After retrieving a set of papers from her briefcase, Caroline tried to concentrate, her eyebrows pulled together with the effort, her chin supported by an open palm. Yet her thoughts continued to wander.

I've come a long way ... she admitted to herself, feeling a sense of satisfaction and wonder. At age thirty-four, Caroline Keller was the labor relations representative of The New York Mirror, America's largest circulation daily. The position was prestigious and well-paying, involving lots of work and responsibility as well as long hours. However, being a person who thrived on challenges, she never thought to complain about the latter; rather, she was proud that she had fought every inch of the way to get ahead in The Mirror's male-dominated managerial environment.
