Newly homeless, Gracie is about to commit suicide. But at the last moment, as she hovers over the railings of Waterloo Bridge, a young woman, Ellie, runs onto the bridge. She begs Gracie to help her escape from a pursuer who’s just yards behind. Shocked out of her dark purpose, Gracie helps Ellie, and they escape. Walking the empty streets, Gracie thinks the threat is past and a tentative relationship begins between the girls. But as she finds out more about Ellie, Gracie realises just how vulnerable they still are.

Lovely widow Megan, lost her soldier husband and childhood sweetheart, to the Iraq conflict eight years ago, and believes she will never find or trust love again. Bitterly divorced, city high flier David, is in the critical stages of the biggest and most ruthless deal of his life, and the last thing he needs is love. However, when the pair meet, sparks unexpectedly fly, and against all the odds, Megan's defences at last begin to wash away... Until David's charged with murder. A murder whose roots go deep into the darker, sordid underbelly of high city finance and abuse, and deep into David's own dark past, and the evidence of his guilt is irrefutable. Now, will her love for a man she's only just begun to trust, be enough to overcome the overwhelming case against him, and will the truth ever, really be known?
