'I think you've proved otherwise,' he murmured into her hair. 'Judy, I do love you so. I'm willing to wait as long as you need, but I would like a wedding as soon as possible. As soon as your father can walk you down the aisle without having to use a stick. Before your parents go home to Spain. And then we will go to somewhere hot and romantic for our honeymoon. I've a friend with a villa on a small, unknown Carribean island. He wants me to build another house for his parents to retire to, and would lend me the villa while I make plans. How does that sound?'
'Perfect,' Judy sighed. 'Just perfect.'

Her former boss Michael offers her a partnership and marriage, her sister Angela wants her to see the house quickly, and unknown vandals attack her garden.
