Dangerous ---, 1782 novel (8)

I believe the answer is:

liaisons

(Other definitions for liaisons that I've seen before include "Affairs or mediations" , "Secret relationships, often illicit" , "Alison is embroiled in affairs" , "Romance or mediations" , "Illicit love affairs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
