After being estranged for a year, Ben and David are back together and more in love than ever. Their commitment ceremony is approaching, and they've taken the chance to extend a business trip to Paris into a pre-commitment, pre-honeymoon break. They owe their present happiness to Barbara, who has a problem only they can solve, and rubies are involved. Ben has plans of his own - but they owe her too much to turn her down. Ben and David were introduced in Chris Quinton's Breaking Point.

Chris started creating stories not long after she mastered joined-up writing, somewhat to the bemusement of her parents and her English teachers. But she received plenty of encouragement. Her dad gave her an already old Everest typewriter when she was about ten, and it was probably the best gift she'd ever received – until the inventions of the home-computer and the worldwide web. Chris' reading and writing interests range from historical, mystery, and paranormal, to science-fiction and fantasy, mostly in the male/male genre. She also writes male/female novels in the name of Chris Power. She refuses to be pigeon-holed and intends to uphold the long and honourable tradition of the Eccentric Brit to the best of her ability. In her spare time [hah!] she reads, embroiders, quilts and knits. In the past she has been a part-time and unpaid amateur archaeologist, and a 15th century re-enactor. She currently lives in a small and ancient city in the south-west of the United Kingdom, sharing her usually chaotic home with an extended family, two large dogs, fancy mice, sundry goldfish and a young frilled dragon (Australian lizard) aka Trogdorina.
