In the opening episode, Emma is still regrouping after her divorce from Pete, and decides that the best way to help the healing process is to go on holiday to Cyprus, where she and Pete enjoyed holidays together in the past. Shrugging off her daughter Susie's criticism of her plan, she packs her bags and heads for the sun, checking in to a beautiful beachfront hotel and hoping to recover some of her joie de vivre.
She soon crosses paths with handsome, charming Niko, the owner of the hotel. She is touched by Niko's efforts to make sure that she is being looked after properly, and then pleasantly surprised when he asks her if she'd like to go out on his boat with him. Emma agrees and a passionate romance quickly develops between them.
All too soon it is time for Emma to return home to the UK, but Niko then makes a proposal: that she stay in Cyprus with him and move into the villa that he is buying. Emma feels she has nothing to lose and, to Pete and Susie's disgust, agrees, also offering to loan Niko the money (around £200K) that he needs to secure the purchase of the villa.
But all is not what it seems with Niko. To Emma's horror, he suddenly vanishes - along with her money. Emma's initial hope that it is all a misunderstanding soon gives way to panic as she fails to track both him and her money down..
