Nicole had never met Jason Wilde, but she hated him for the way he had hurt and deceive her sister, and was determined to be revenged on him. So she worked out a plan that seemed foolproof. She took a job with the oil company for which Jason worked and managed to get out to the Abrahm, the remote post in the middle of the North African desert where he was supervising. Miles from civilization and the company of women, he should, she reasoned, be an easy target. She was not exactly an unattractive, and should not be difficult to make him fall for her-and then walk out on him into same way as he walked out on her sister. But things did not quite work out in the way Nicole expected, and fate turned the tables on her neatly and drastically.
