Playing hard to get

About “Playing hard to get”

Valerie Knight, a feature writer at the Sentinel who knows the meaning of commitment in her work, is pursued by financial editor Gib Collingwood but seems determined to keep him at a distance. The story questions whether someone else occupies her private life, whether she is avoiding office gossip after Gina Tyrrell's rejection of Nick Caspian, or whether she is simply playing hard to get, within the Barbary Wharf series.
