Since Annie's French husband was killed in the First World War, she has put her son first in everything. Her motherly instincts now tell her that Davie, at ten years old, would benefit from having a father, and when Fergus Cameron proposes to her, Annie knows that he can offer them both comfort and security. But is that reason enough to marry? Annie is beginning to feel there must be more to life and when she and Davie bump into Richard Ross near their home in Kew, her instincts are proved correct. Richard has an easygoing charm and rangy good looks and they strike up the sort of bond that Annie yearns for. She agrees to become his wife. But strange things are soon unsettling Annie. Richard is curiously keen for her and Davie to visit Paris - the place of Davie's birth. Annie has long had a phobia about water so Richard insists on travelling with Davie alone, a suggestion which Annie accepts, but one she is soon to regret bitterly.
