The Last Of The Mallorys

the long version

“Miss Page,” Brent Mallory warned Vanessa when she applied for a job as his secretary at his beautiful home, Raylings Hall, “I don’t think much of women in business. They’re too prone to distraction, rely on instinct rather than common sense, are all too often resentful of any kind of authority . . .” Nevertheless, he had to concede that Vanessa’s qualifications were more than ample for the job - but he was right when he forecast that she might be “prone to distraction” - for she soon realised that the biggest distraction in the job was Brent himself! Brent was convinced that it was his cousin Gerard who was the attraction - and Vanessa decided it was best to let him go on thinking so; for once she met the charming Moya, Vanessa had realised that she would be wasting her time in thinking any more about her employer.
