From the Back Cover DEBBIE MACOMBER HERE COMES TROUBLE Maryanne Simpson is working hard to make it as a journalist; its not her fault that her father happens to own the newspaper. After rival columnist Nolan Adams writes an unflattering piece about her, shes furious. But Maryanne decides the tough, streetwise newsman is right about one thing: her life has been too easy. So she quits her job, leaves her luxury apartment and swears not to touch her trust fund. She needs to prove to Nolan - and to herself - that shes got what it takes to make it on her own.
