Dedication To Rachel and Stewart – my personal on-call doctors – and to Megan Haslam my supportive, patient and all round fabulous editor.

PROLOGUE PROLOGUE IT WAS THAT moment before dawn, before the sky had begun to lighten and the moon seemed at its brightest, when Alexander saw her for the first time. On his way to the bay where he kept his boat, his attention was caught by a woman emerging like Aphrodite from the sea. She paused, the waves lapping around her thighs, to squeeze the water from her tangled hair. As the sun rose, it bathed her in light adding to the mystical scene. He held his breath. He’d heard about her—in a village this size it would have been surprising if the arrival of a stranger wasn’t commented on—and they hadn’t exaggerated when they’d said she was beautiful. The bay where she’d been swimming was below him, just beyond the wall that bordered the village square. If she looked up she would see him. But she didn’t. She waded towards the shore, droplets clinging to her golden skin, her long hair still streaming with water. If the village hadn’t been full of gossip about the woman who’d come to stay in the villa overlooking the bay, he could almost let himself believe that she was a mythical creature rising from the sea. Almost. If he were a fanciful man. Which he wasn’t.
