Dr. Garrett Gibson is a trailblazing woman in a man's world, defying societal norms as England's sole female physician. Her independence and daring spirit catch the attention of Ethan Ransom, a former Scotland Yard detective with a shadowy reputation. Their one night of passion ignites a connection that neither can ignore, despite their vow to part ways. When Ethan's dangerous assignment goes awry, Garrett's skills and courage are put to the test as she races to save him from a treacherous government plot. As they face life-threatening peril, Ethan's love for Garrett deepens, and he is willing to risk everything for the extraordinary woman who has captured his heart.
