HE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE AUNT MAUDIE

Black-haired, blue-eyed Quint Richards answered the door of Miss Maudie's stately Georgia home. And when he explained that he lived there, Thea Cameron fainted.

Weary and flat broke, Thea and her two sons had traveled for weeks, hoping that Thea's favorite relative would take them in. But Aunt Maudie was convalescing from a broken hip and it was Quint who invited Thea to stay awhile.

Passion and peace were the promises in Quint's eyes, and so tenderly offered that Thea told herself she'd leave before he discovered the truth:

That he, the local district attorney, shared the house, shared his life--with a criminal.
