the protection and gentleness of a lover? Erin knew she wanted to drop out of the parade of meaningless jobs - carhop, cocktail waitress, usherette, artists' model. Who the hell wanted to work, anyway? Life would stagger on without her shoulder to the wheel. What if people did resent Bruno?

Erin smiled secretly to herself, feeling she was treading on dangerous and forbidden ground.
