The Passion Patrol Series element of these books is that every story features a female cop from the London Met Police as protagonist. Each heroine in each book has a different role within the police. In this book, Anna is a young Interpol detective. She falls in love with Freddie, a stranger in a taxi who as it later turns out, could hold a key to a major investigation by her department The story tells of Anna being sent undercover to infiltrate his world and how their love survives the deception and disaster that follows when the bad guys turn on her.
The common theme in the series is that we join the heroine at a point when she is single and about to meet the love of her life, usually in the course of duty. These sassy powerful women are as passionate about the men they love, as they are about fulfilling their duty in the police. The path for true love is never easy and each of these girls face mortal peril and are challenged to complete their mission, keep their man and stay alive to love another day.
At the entrance to the tube station there was a growing crowd. The lattice shutters were being closed while an harassed official explained that there was a wild-cat strike. She turned away. Ahead of her lay a nightmare journey by bus to her empty flat in Kilburn. Suddenly the cold politics of the meeting, the gray loneliness of the street, the crowds of uncaring strangers, filled her with a longing for warmth and intimacy. The break from her lover, police Commander Beaumont Locke had seemed clean but had left a jagged gap of loneliness - like an exit wound. A gap where another rainy evening briefly played over and over again in her mind.
She stood on the edge of the pavement. Perhaps she could get a taxi - but with a tube strike there was small chance of that! Several black cabs beetled along, already filled. She kept her hand raised and as if by magic she saw the amber “For Hire” light of a London taxi pulling in at her side. She felt a movement from behind and heard an accented male voice:
“The Hilton Hotel, Park Lane.”
She turned to see a tall rock of a man, moving past her into the taxi. This guy was going to have to back off. She grabbed the door. Even as she did so she saw his deep brown eyes, the dark eyebrows, one of which only partly disguised a long scar. She could never explain - even to herself - why in that instant she wanted to touch it and know how it had been caused. Her heart raced with indignation and a sense of excitement she had never expected to feel again… not since… well, just not since everything.
