Clem Alderton is the girl every man wants and every woman wants to be - the eye at the centre of every social storm. But beneath the morning-after make-up and the model's wardrobe, Portobello's party girl is hiding a secret. And when she goes too far one reckless night, she endangers everything that matters to her. Her world is about to collapse when she is offered a commission to refurbish a villa in the Italian Riviera town of Portofino. It's a lifeline and an opportunity she can't possible turn down but she has been there before, and swore she'd never return for her own protection.
