She is attracted but not looking for romance, he is attracted but not looking for commitment and, as Joanna soon discovers, he is the black sheep of his family and has a very murky past. Despite her initial mistrust and his resistance; against the backcloth of a war that ranges from a Hampshire port to the Cornish coast and from North Africa to Singapore, attraction deepens into love that in turn blossoms into a passionate affair.
