Title: Wild Crocus
Description: San Marco on the Portuguese coast with its steep cobbled streets and the waterfront at the end looked like an overgrown fishing village, but appearances are deceptive, as Phil and her beautiful sister Justine were quickly to discover. Had fate decreed that the sisters were to love the same man? And where lay the heart of the enigmatic, self assured Ricardo de Vallarez? Surely he would only have eyes for Justine, already a singer of renown and who was prepared to go to any lengths to win his heart - yet what prompted him to drive Phil along the coat road where the wild crocus are to be found, clothed in their light and beautiful perfume as romantic as the legend surrounding them? The answer was to come far more swiftly and dramatically than anyone realised.
