Henderson Sands is a nickname that Harriet Henderson and Thorvald Sands christen the island in the middle of nowhere, somewhere in the Mediterranean, on which they are stranded. Since late childhood Harriet a New York waitress, remembers fearing and disliking the opposite sex. Recurring nightmares haunt her anytime she comes close to becoming involved with a man. With Val (Thorvald) the nightmares have not come, not yet, possibly because she finds him the most intense, most handsome, vital man she has ever met. Undeniably he holds a strange fascination for her. But as for seriously considering the endearments he lavished upon her each evening while they strolled the decks of the ocean liner cruising the Mediterranean, she accepted his smooth words with a grain of salt. A shipboard romance. Once the ship docked in New York, she would never want to see him again. Then fate steps in, and Harriet finds herself stranded alone with Val on an exotic island in the Mediterranean. Besides saving her life, Val proves himself an excellent hunter and ingenious trapper, building his own weapons and tools from nature's own resources. On the ship he had seemed human; on the island he is a gentleman's version of a Viking warrior. He appears to be enjoying himself, tackling with gusto the task of creating a habitable dwelling for them. Harriet cannot deny her attraction, yet how can she permit herself to find him devastatingly appealing? Isn't he like most men, fundamentally interested in — she refuses to think further. And then the nightmares return....
