Book description
As soon as Octavia caught a glimpse of Jeremy in the nightclub, she
knew she just had to have him. It didn't matter that he'd just got
engaged to an old school friend of hers, plump, good natured Gussie; he
was looking at Octavia in the way that suggested bed rather than
breakfast, and she was weak at the knees... But Octavia was used to men
falling in love with her at a moment's notice - it happened all the time
if you were as rich and as stunning as she was. An invitation to join
Gussie and Jeremy for a cozy weekend on a canal barge came like a gift
from the gods. How could she fail to hook Jeremy? But the other part of
the foursome was whizz-kid business tycoon Gareth Llewellyn, a swarthy
Welshman with all the tenderness of a scrum-half...definitely not
Octavia's type! And one way and another, he certainly managed to thwart
her plans...
