Amanda, an SAS-trained commander, is badly wounded during an engagement in which four of her team are killed. Suddenly she is transformed from an incredibly fit, active young woman into a semi-invalid with a shattered kneecap. As she begins the slow, painful process of recovery, her life is once again turned upside down when a local police inspector applies for the post of her bodyguard and companion. This is the man she holds responsible for the death of her fiance four years earlier, but as their lives become increasingly intertwined she finds herself falling in love.
