Once Bitten...

Linda is flying out to view her property in Majorca, bequeathed by her exhusband, Alan. She has no idea about what trouble lies ahead. Alan, a drug dealer, abandoned her and their baby, Beth, six years ago.

On take-off Linda panics and clutches the hand of the man in the next seat. He, Ryan, is returning to his Garden Centre business. He recognizes her plight and offers his help.

They view the property, and seeing its potential, Ryan offers to buy it, but two men seem anxious to gain access, which necessitates police intervention. Later, when Linda returns to sign paperwork, she takes her mother Monica and Beth for a holiday.

There are sinister events-an attempt to kidnap Beth, a catastrophe at sea, and strangers lurking near the property. There are happy times too, and good friendships are forged, but Linda and Ryan find it difficult to commit romantically. They have too many bad memories.

Beth makes an exciting discovery that solves many problems, but will Linda ever solve hers?

This story has laughter and tears and shows that true friendship is a treasure.
