Kim Lyttleton's flighty young foster sister was about to ruin her life by running off with a married man, and her family were worried to death about it.

It was the practical Kim who decided that something drastic would have to be done, and she was the one to do it. The answer, she declared, was to kidnap the man in question. Unfortunately, Kim kidnapped the wrong man, and the tables were well turned when she found herself in the power of a very angry Greek, Damon Souris, who declared that if she didn't want to be handed over to the Greek authorities on a serious charge she had better do as he said and marry him.

Faced with that alternative, Kim had no choice but to agree. But what sort of marriage could she possibly expect?
