Chapter 1
Chrystal hadn’t entered any competitions, and yet she’d won a long weekend-away in Germany, all expenses paid. She assumed someone had entered the competition on her behalf, and fully expected whoever it was to own up.
But they didn’t and the mystery only deepened when a week later an envelope containing airline tickets plopped through the letterbox onto the doormat.
Chrystal, with her dark hair and hazel eyes, had more than her fair share of good looks.
Of her wide circle of friends, there was one whom she felt sure was her anonymous benefactor.

she added.
Chrystal and Karen both worked for a large retail company in Nottingham. Chrystal had started there straight after leaving Sixth Form College and worked her way up to area manager’s PA.

Chrystal’s position entitled her to five weeks holiday instead of four and her take home pay was double her friend’s. Karen always insisted she wasn’t jealous, insisted she wouldn’t have taken the job as PA’s assistant if it had been offered to her on a silver plate.
This won’t be your first visit to Germany, will it?
Karen wanted all the details. Didn’t you tell me you’d taken part in a student exchange scheme years ago?
That’s right. I stayed with a family in Hamelin, the Ungers,
Chrystal confirmed, but sadly I’ve lost touch. The last time I heard from them was over four years ago. They were thinking of moving, so I’ve no idea where they are now.
Determined to make the most of the unexpected treat, Chrystal packed her case and set
