Standing on the cliff high above the spectacular arch known as Durdle Door, Detective Constable Jacque Williams contemplates the momentous decision which will take her from her beloved Dorset to the bustling noise and lawlessness of London. She knows the challenge will be huge as she becomes part of the Metropolitan police force, but has no idea of the tests and trials lying ahead.

On her very first morning, Jacque falls foul of her boss, the frosty and efficient Detective Inspector Rhys Byrne, but it isn't long before she develops feelings for him despite an insurmountable problem standing in the way of any relationship. She also has to cope with a mother who always seems distant, then discovers another relation, equally as difficult. It is only when she meets the handsome and charming Niklas during a faith changing holiday that she finds a measure of happiness, but who will she arrange to meet when she finally returns to Durdle Door?
