It will be in a magazine, in fact: Idyllic Home plans to feature the house in its Christmas issue. But to meet its deadline, it's scheduling the photo shoot in two days--in the middle of a heat wave in July.

But soon he's complaining that the photo shoot is disrupting his plans to build a summer house in the garden. Sometimes, Claire thinks, William loves the house more than he loves her. Then Stefan, the photographer, shows up. He's eager to get started. He's also unsettlingly attractive, and just mysterious enough to make Claire feel a bit off-balance.
