      PROLOGUE

      ‘I AM REALLY going to miss you!’

      Katie Carlyon hugged her twin sister Kelly. Now that the time had come for them to part, she was feeling extremely emotional. They had never been separated for any length of time before and it was going to take some getting used to.

      ‘I’m going to miss you too, but it’s all in a good cause.’ Kelly hugged her back, her green eyes sparkling with laughter. ‘Admit it, Katie, you’re dying to see Petros again, aren’t you?’

      ‘Yes, I am.’

      Katie laughed, hoping her sister couldn’t tell how uneasy she felt. She still hadn’t heard from Petros. He hadn’t phoned her or replied to the numerous text messages she’d sent him in the past few days. They hadn’t spoken, in fact, since she’d told him what time her flight was due to land. She understood how busy he must be in work, but surely he could have found the time for a brief phone call?

      ‘Ah, love’s young dream.’ Kelly chuckled. ‘It makes you feel all warm and tingly inside.’

      ‘Just you wait, Kelly Carlyon,’ Katie threatened. She certainly didn’t intend to worry her sister when they were both on the verge of starting a new life. Petros had told her that he loved her many times and there was no reason to doubt him. ‘I’ll get my own back when you fall head over heels in love!’

      ‘You’ll have a long wait because it’s never going to happen. I’ve had my fill of romance, thank you very much.’

      Katie was about to protest but at that moment her flight was called. She hugged her sister again then picked up her bag. ‘I’ll text you as soon as I get there. Take care.’

      Katie hurried to the security desk and showed her boarding pass then made her way to the departure gate. It was the beginning of May and there were a lot of people going away on holiday. Cyprus was a popular destination and the flight was full; she had to wait until her row was called before she could board the plane.

      Twenty minutes later the plane took off and she watched as England disappeared under a veil of clouds. In four hours’ time she would begin a new life with the man she loved. It was a big step, but she was sure it was what she wanted to do. She wanted to be with Petros for ever more.
