Lucy Ardle was driving home, wondering what sort of a mood her husband would be in. When she'd left earlier, words had been spoken. She was nearly home when she was overtaken by the fire engine: the house is was in flames and it's was touch and go as to whether or not Danny will would make it. Thankfully Lucy's friend, Carol Black had seen the flames and called the fire brigade or the outcome would have been much worse.
Carol has her own problems. Her family's life of luxury is going to be wrenched from them as one of her husband's property deals in Florida goes badly wrong. Eric's greed has finally caught up – but not just with him. The entire family is going to suffer. Daughter Isobel is home-loving and hard-working but Heidi is, well, different. The family think that she's on holiday in Cyprus, but she's actually in New York with Lucy Ardle's son, Matt – twelve years her junior – or she was until she disappeared without warning. Matt is frantic and doesn't know where to turn – and that's before he knows about the fire and how close to death his father came.
