He was her mission: Ivan Sasanov, top KGB agent and a potentially important defector. She was his debriefer: Davina Graham, a dedicated British operative who made her work her life. But he was lonely and bored, and he missed his family. So she took him home...

When she fell in love with Sasanov, Davina Graham already knew that he would only co-operate if they brought his wife and daughter out of Russia. It was an almost impossible mission - booby-trapped by treachery and studded with deceit - but it was one for which she had to volunteer.

Even if by some strange and miraculous twist of fate she succeeded as an agent, she would have lost the only thing she wanted as a woman.
