Pilgrim's Promise — Emma Goldrick

Valeria Brewster refused to be bulldozed!

Just who did Bart Thomas -- judicial nominee for the Massachusetts Bench, and Valeria's employer -- think he was? So what if Bart suddenly needed puritan respectability, thanks to a snoopy Plymouth reporter! Why should she agree to pose as his fiancee?

Valeria already had her hands full -- coping with her job as companion to Bart's surly, adolescent daughter, Maria. The tough teenager required a caring touch.

Besides...as Bart's fiancee, Valeria would continually be thrown against his scintillating maleness. The prim Pilgrim inside her would never survive the explosion!

Hero: Bart Thomas
Heroine: Valeria Brewster
