沙漠寄情

在沙漠中, 國際安克利亞石油公司, 一面協調難對付的偤長, 一面敷設油管工作。有一天, 英國總公司派來總裁赫羅魯德‧馬拿林公爵的紈誇公子保鏢, 及秘書妮可拉‧金, 妮可拉是一位二十四歲的年輕女性。
工地副監督古拉哈姆‧威爾森因看到難得一見的美女, 大為高興。 可是, 鐘監督傑遜‧懷魯德認為這是男人的工地, 不該有女人介入, 非常不高興......

Nicola had never met Jason Wilde, but she hated him for the way he had hurt and deceived her sister, and was determined to be revenged on him.

So she worked out a plan that seemed fool-proof. She took a job with the oil company for which Jason worked and managed to get out to Abrhm, 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 unattractive, and it should not be difficult to make him fall for her - and then walk out of him in just the same way as he had walked out on her sister.

But things did not quite work out in the way Nicola had expected, and fate turned the tables on her neatly and drastically.
