Emma has had a difficult upbringing, with no father and a dysfunctional mother, so it is scarcely surprising that she falls in love with Dirk - a handsome, charming man who also happens to be her mother’s latest boyfriend. They run away together, but soon it becomes a nightmare for Emma when she is forced into a seedy, miserable existence. Escape eventually comes in the unlikely shape of a maiden aunt, but Emma is far from happy at finding herself in a Welsh backwater. Then two new men arrive in her life - dark and mesmerizing Hywel and the more ordinary Stephen.

That is, until five years later, when her best friend Stephanie thinks she might have seen the supposedly dead Daniel.
