Gallant's Fancy

the long version

1796 Miranda was delighted when her boss asked her to accompany him on a business cruise to the Caribbean, even though she knew the whole purpose of the trip was a large take-over bid and that there would be as much work as play.

Roger was clearly in the habit of taking what he wanted and then throwing it away - and it did look as if Miranda was going to be his latest victim!
