She saw the dinghy on the calm, even surface of the sea, the sails billowing in the gentle breeze, as they sailed into the sunlight.
Rebecca Versey has just got engaged to her boss, charismatic advertising executive Max Lavery, to the envy of her colleagues and the considerable relief of Sir John and Lady Versey, who feared their beautiful, wilful daughter would abandon all material comfort in favour of her childhood companion, writer and erstwhile gardener, Henry Lamb. Max is everything Henry isn't: ambitious, dynamic, living life at breakneck speed, and increasingly being groomed for the top. But when sophisticated divorcee Lee Wylde flies over from the States to supervise Max's promotion, Becky finds herself sidelined into the role of "trophy wife", alienated from everything - and everyone - she holds dear. Increasingly unsure of herself, and the man she agreed to marry, Becky suddenly realises the value of her one constant, true friend ... but has she left it too late?
