Valentine Denning is a gorgeous photojournalist reporting on the terrifying wartime conditions of Kosovo at the opening of Barbara Taylor Bradford's action-packed contemporary romance. Assisted by her lover, British journalist Tony Hampton, and fellow American reporter Jake Newberg, Val valiantly tackles her dangerous assignment until Tony is brutally killed in a vicious ambush. Paralyzed with grief, Val is even more astounded to find out that Tony was actually married throughout their affair and thus relies on Jake's sensitive touch to carry her through her mourning. Soon love blossoms between the two Americans, as they retreat to a beautiful villa in Cap-Ferrat and later rush back to New York brimming with affection and excited about a brilliant book idea they've recently concocted. Reality bites, however, when Val's mother reveals the awful family secret that uncovers the truth behind her lack of affection for Val and her favoritism towards Val's younger brother, Donald. As a result, Donald has been granted control of the family's cosmetics business. Just when things couldn't be worse for Val, Jake decides to return to Kosovo, but not before an intriguing artist enters Val's lonely life.
