Newly single after breaking off her engagement, Staff Nurse Sophie Fuller feels her life is going in the wrong direction. Called upon to help a friend, she reluctantly agrees to take care of youthful Portuguese prima donna, Rosa Ramirez, while she is studying in England. The two women could hardly be more different, and one nightmare weekend unwittingly becomes ten long months, with Rosa taking over Sophie's tiny council flat. However, despite their differences, the two form a (slightly reluctant) bond. Determined to introduce Sophie to a more exotic lifestyle, Rosa invites her to spend the summer at her family's beach house on the idyllic Algarve. How could she refuse? While Sophie finds sun, sea, and sand, she also has to face her feelings for Carlos, an attractive, enigmatic thirty-something who everyone believes is destined to marry Rosa. Are her feelings just the result of a holiday romance? Does Carlos want Rose, or Sophie? And what will happen when summer fades?
