When Amanda Maine comes to Southern Spain fleeing a failed affair and a bad case of artist's block, the last thing she expects to find is two handsome alpha males vying for her attention. The first, Alvaro Montoya de la Fuente, is an arrogant, horse-breeding, aristocrat with a reputation as a womaniser. The second, Alex Van der Freis, is a Dutch Diamond merchant with a Porsche and a yacht berthed in Puerto Banus. And although Amanda's aim has been simply to get together a portfolio so that she can mount an exhibition of her work in the Autumn, she soon finds herself torn between the charming, generous northerner and the passionate but totally unsuitable Spaniard. However this is the least of her worries because her life is turned upside down when she is involved in a scam that could cost her not only her freedom but even her life.
