Jilted by Tim, while dressing for her wedding, Sam’s first instinct is to escape. Tim has rushed off to Paris and into the arms of a former girlfriend. Where better for Sam to go than the empty villa in Lanzarote where she and Tim were to have spent their honeymoon?
Tim’s odious stepbrother, Adam, makes it perfectly plain that, in his opinion, she has brought the situation entirely upon herself. Why then does he turn up in Lanzarote? And why does he start being nice to her? She must be careful – it would be all too easy to fall for someone on the rebound, someone as attractive as Adam:
"She went to bed early that night and read till her eyes ached, but still she couldn’t sleep. In the small hours she became aware of someone moving about in the next room. Oh God! Not burglars! If only the dogs had the run of the house! If only they weren't so damned friendly! There was a burglar alarm set to warn off intruders at the front of the house. Adam considered the presence of three dogs sufficient deterrent at the rear.
Sliding out of bed she felt for the heavy bronze ornament that always stood on a side table, and picked it up, then crept stealthily towards the connecting door. It was her only way out: she wasn’t going to just lie here and wait to be attacked. The door swung open on silent, oiled hinges. There was no-one in the room, but the bedside light was on.
Two things occurred to her simultaneously: water was running in Adam's shower, and his case was standing at the foot of the bed. He was home! She turned back to her room - she couldn't face him now. Too late - his bathroom door swung open and he was standing there, a towel round his hips, droplets of water clinging to the dark hair on his chest.
She could hardly bear to look at him. He was like a god: tall, lean and darkly handsome. How she loved him! How ' she hated him!"
