Somebody wants her dead. Two men are determined to save her. One is the man paid to kill her
Two parallel stories linked by one beautiful woman with a price on her head. Two men, each in love with her in their own different way, both determined to protect her.
One she knows. Paul Harlin, the handsome, gregarious Oxford art dealer. They met by accident but fell instantly in love. He finds out she's in danger and vows to keep her from harm.
The other man she does not know. The solitary, crippled assassin, David Leighton, loves her only from afar. He has to. He was the man they sent to kill her. But now he is watching over her as he digs ever deeper into the reason why somebody would pay to have her killed. He too is determined that she will be protected.
Eventually, both men come to realise that drastic action needs to be taken to save the life of the woman they love.
