Why should the Greek shipping tycoon Alexandros Leandris look twice at plain jane Jan Reynolds when it was her beautiful cousin Renata he was pursuing? Especially as Renata wasn't particularly bothered whether he was offering her marriage or something rather less, and Jan wasn't that kind of girl at all. But then Renata, surprisingly, had second thoughts, and when Alex invited her on to his luxury yacht, sailing the coast of Turkey, she got cold feet and instead sent Jan to explain her absence. And Jan, for her pains, found herself on board, in Renata's place, virtually Alex's prisoner.
