Samantha Elliot, a young divorcee, and Jules Caron, a newly appointed firearms officer, are thrown together in a terror attack in London. She is the victim. He is the balaclava wearing hero, who saves her. She longs to know who he is, but for his safety he must remain anonymous. A game of cat and mouse begins. One that involves chance meetings, and narrow escapes. Until she uncovers his real identity.
The connection between them runs deep. They fall in love, but can only meet in secret.
Disaster strikes when the assailant's family, on ambiguous evidence, accuse Jules of an unlawful killing, and he is taken to court. Sam will be the main witness for his defence. Can they survive the trauma of the case? The accusations, the death threats, the betrayals, the choices they have to make? How much will they risk for love?
