He'd always made light of her feelings When she was 15, Jenna had been infatuated with Simon Townsend, her best friend's teasing brother. Then infatuation changed to a curious uneasiness, one that made her feel edgy and restless in his company. Fortunately she had little occasion to see much of him now, for, as a prominent 31 year old London barrister, he moved in different circles than Jenna. But an escapade of his sister's threw Simon and Jenna, now 24, together again in a most awkward--not to mention compromising--situation. He thought it was funny. Jenna was not amused. And she would have given anything to avoid the consequences!
