Theirs
is one of the longest, most spectacularly drawn out courtships of
all time. Jack Harcourt Deveraux and Jennifer Rose Horton were living
proof opposites attract. He was the rich, manipulative son [sic
-- adopted-son] of a corrupt Congressman [sic -- Senator]. She was
the sweet, innocent granddaughter of the much-loved Horton clan.
They met when
Jennifer was a cub reporter on The Spectator. Jack was her
cold, callous and cynical editor [sic -- and owner]. 
Jennifer bewildered him because he trusted no one and wondered what
"her angle" was. To his amazement, he discovered she was
intelligent, stubborn, and highly capable of dealing with his rude,
impatient manner. Jack
fell for Jennifer before he knew it, and their romance kicked off
to a feisty start. |
