Desperate to escape the unwanted attentions of a man following her home from work, Tara Lambert throws herself into the arms of a stranger

It's an "out of the frying pan" moment which only gets worse when, the following morning, she encounters Adam Blackmore for the second time.

She's on a mission to promote her ailing secretarial agency at a glossy new office block. His new company headquarters. He's convinced her "damsel in distress" act was a set up and it takes all her skill to convince him that she's exactly what she says she is. All her character to resist the temptation to fall into the trap he's laid – vital when she discovers that his previous secretary is expecting his child.

Then they go on a business trip to Bahrain and everything begins to unravel.
