Later in life, when they have grown into fierce non-conformist warriors for freedom and justice, conflict thrusts them together again. Into their war comes Bonny, destined to be a victim, but their unexpected love rescues her and sets the three on a hard-fought path to total liberation.

Bonny and Lauren face the greatest challenge of their lives as they try to rescue their man Daniel from an impossible predicament. His helicopter has crashed behind enemy lines, he is injured and cannot move. If the Argentine secret police get hold of him he will be tortured and may die. If they do nothing, he will surely die. They must act alone. They set out on an impulsive and dangerous mission to bring back the man whom they both love. Daniel is husband to Bonny and unknown to him, father to the baby she carries. Lauren too carries a secret that might threaten her relationship with Bonny,...

Daniel Dawes has come back from the war in the Falklands with a broken back and a burden of guilt for the stress he has caused Bonny and Lauren. His healing will be aided by the love of Bonny and Lauren and by the attention of his physiotherapist, Kris. The healing will flow to Kris, who nurses a deep secret. Old conspiracies, fear of discovery and a need for revenge creates danger that they must defeat and resist or run from - forever living in fear. This is a story of three who resist.

Daniel and Lauren have been undercover intelligence officers working in the murky world of paramilitary violence. Several attempts have been made on their lives and many have died in those attempts....

Lauren was safer now and Bonny didn't worry for her the way she now worried about Daniel. Daniel had never found his escape. He was still trapped by his overwhelming sense of responsibility and his inability to be as self-centred and single-minded as Lauren.
