When her friend Alan Moore, son of the oil tycoon Sir Giles Moore, got Julie a job in Tripoli she had never dreamed that it would actually take her to work on the oil-camp itself, miles out in the scorching Libyan desert. But even that was not such a challenge as working with the camp manager, Clay Whitman, who stubbornly insisted that 'woman and oil don't mix'. Yet Julie could not deny her growing attraction to Clay - and judging by his disapproval and jealousy of Alan, he was not indifferent to her! In fact, after Julie left the firm and got a job as a children's nurse, Clay still seemed to be always there, helping and guiding her when things went wrong. But at the same time, he was showing a marked interest in at least two other women. How could Julie decide how she stood with him? | When her friend Alan Moore, son of the oil tycoon Sir Giles Moore, got Julie a job in Tripoli she had never dreamed that it would actually take her to work on the oil-camp itself, miles out in the scorching Libyan desert.
