A troubled childhood and a disastrous love affair had left Michaela older and wiser — and vowing never to get close to anyone again. And that certainly included photographer Ryan Douglas with his legendary reputation as a womaniser!

Ryan was determined to believe that Mickey had encouraged her half sister to run off with his wealthy nephew — and he was going to make Mickey pay the price by demanding that she join his search for the missing pair.
