When Nancy Lockhart takes a secretarial job with Gordon Mackenzie, a wealthy East Lothian businessman, she soon finds he is expecting rather more from her than shorthand and typing. She is made increasingly uncomfortable by the obvious jealousy of his daughter and the unwelcome advances of one of his male staff, but she enjoys the job and needs the money. Then romance comes into her life and everything changes… The second story, Dancing in the Wings, is a short tale based on the author’s real-life experiences as a young woman.
