Nicola had never met Jason Wilde, but she hated him for the way he had hurt and deceived her sister, and was determined to be revenged on him. So she worked out a plan that seemed fool-proof. She took a job with the oil company for which Jason worked and managed to get out to Abrhm, the remote post in the middle of the North African desert where he was supervising. Miles from civilization and the company of women, he should, she reasoned, be an easy target. She was not exactly unattractive, and it should not be difficult to make him fall for her--and then walk out of him in just the same way as he had walked out on her sister. But things did not quite work out in the way Nicola had expected, and fate turned the tables on her neatly and drastically.

For everyone's sake she'd have to do the right thing....
