More than anything else, cable TV reporter Andrea Malone wanted a network job. And it could be hers if she gained a coveted interview with the aging General Ratiff - especially if she uncovered the secret that drove him into seclusion at his Texas ranch. One obstacle was Lyon Ratiff, the general's watchdog of a son. Andrea had a plan, but had no way of knowing how Lyon's unexpected, undeniable effect on her would change everything, how they both would face a storm of suspicion and betrayal - and how Andrea Malone would have to choose between the ruthless demands of her profession and the equally strong dictates of the heart.
TV reporter Andrea Malone travels to Texas to interview aging war hero General Ratiff. But his handsome son, Lyon, is afraid that Andrea will exploit his father in order to uncover the secret that caused the general to go into seclusion. Seasoned narrator Joyce Bean perfectly captures, not only Lyon's seductive Texas drawl, but also Andrea's educated, career-minded tones. Bean carefully modulates her voice to reflect the ever present romantic tension between Lyon and Andrea, as their relationship endures its highs and lows. Bean's ability to capture the tenor of the 1980s, as sexism battles feminism, truly brings this narration to life. S.C.M. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
