Shes a woman in control of her life, and no man is ever going to tellherwhat to do.

So how come shes ended up twelve thousand miles from home, in rainy London, with no friends, her visa about to expire, with no place to live oh, yes, and pregnant?

She fell in love with Alexander Drake, thats how. But she soon realises that Alex goes through the tunnel of love holding his own hand. He also has more secrets than MI5. Alex may not be the man she thought he was, but can she persuade him to be the man she needs him to be preferably before the baby arrives?
