Successful CEO Stuart Watson seems to have it all -looks, money, power and an apparently endless string of women who are willing to throw themselves at him. A car accident at a railroad crossing renders him unconscious and it’s only Lily’s selfless actions that save his life. Recovering in the hospital, Stuart realises that Lily has no idea who he is and plans to keep it that way, at least for a little while. The accident has changed both of them. Stuart, sensing a new lease on life and impressed by Lily’s heroism, is surprised when he meets her and there is instant attraction. Lily, who only wanted to ‘do the right thing’, is shocked by the small media circus that ensues in response to her heroism. When Stuart exudes an air of sexuality even from his hospital bed, Lily is fearful of the attraction while at the same time intrigued by it. Disappointed that despite his promise he doesn’t call before her trip to Edinburgh, Lily manages to convince herself that it’s all for the best. When Stuart unexpectedly reappears in her life, Lily realises just how dangerous a presence he is; the chemistry is undeniable and she knows that saying no to him might close the door to love forever while saying yes might well mean a broken heart. less
