Affair of Honor

Affair of Honor is a romance novel by the American writer Jayne Ann Krentz, issued by Silhouette in this printing of 187 pages, ISBN 9780671448127, dated 1983.

Brenna Llewellyn teaches philosophy and has retreated to a cabin in the mountains because her career has reached a difficult point. Ryder Sterne walks in on her and assumes she has no business being there, and the argument that follows is only the beginning of what happens between them. Ryder's life is built around risk and travel and Brenna's around a university, which makes them an unlikely pair to anybody watching. The novel concerns how much of herself Brenna is prepared to hand over to a man who wants everything. She is also, for once, in a situation where nobody is asking her for the thing she is good at.

The mountain cabin is where the whole of the story takes place.
