Izzy Jordan knows that she ought to put the past behind her and make more of an effort at being a thoroughly Modern Woman. But shaking off a cowardly ex-boyfriend and a manipulative mother who, between them, have robbed her of her self-esteem, is easier said than done. Help is at hand. Invited by friends to spend the summer on the island of Corfu, Izzy is offered the chance of a no-strings-attached holiday romance with the irresistible Theo Vlamakis. What should she do? Seize this delightful opportunity and have a little fun, or give him his marching orders? Then along comes Theo's oldest and closest friend, Mark St. James, a crime writer with a past more complex than Izzy's, who helps her to reach a decision. But it's a decision that has tragic consequences and ensures that this is a holiday no one will forget - least of all Izzy.
