Esther Wyndham

Pseudonym for Mary Lutyens. Republished in paperback 1969. (from back of 1969 pb) Elizabeth Terry was a girl who had always thought she could get along very well without involving herself too much with men. For the present, she was far more concerned with the glamorous job she was taking on in New York. But fate, it seemed, had other plans for her -- in the shape of Seymour Delroy. She met him on the boat, helped him out in an emergency by acting as his temporary secretary -- and before they had even reached New York she had fallen in love with him. Then Elizabeth realised just what she had done -- for Seymour was far too wrapped up in his business affairs, not to speak of the highly suitable girl he was expected to marry, to waste a second glance on a mere secretary. Elizabeth knew that the most sensible thing was to get away from him -- but that was not going to be as easy as it sounded.
