Lucy Arighoβs first encounter with Greg Millar is far from
promising, but she soon realises he possesses a charm that
is impossible to resist. Just eight whirlwind weeks after
their first meeting, level-headed career girl Lucy is
seriously considering his pleas to marry him and asking
herself if she could really be stepmother material.
But before Lucy can make a final decision about becoming
part of Gregβs world, events plunge her right into it. On
holiday in the South of France, things start to unravel. Her
future stepchildren wonβt accept her, the interfering nanny
resents her, and theyβre stuck in a heat wave that wonβt let
up. And then thereβs Greg. His behaviour becomes
increasingly bizarre and Lucy begins to wonder whether his
larger-than-life personality hides something darkerβand
whether she knows him at all.
