Erin Sinclair drives luxury taxi. She is at the airport dropping a fare off and decides she may as well try to pick up another fare that takes her back to the city. After a short wait, Tristen Bennet appears. He is coming home to Australia after being in London for 6 years. He is a cop with Interpol in their car stealing division. He is home for 6 weeks to revaluate his career after one of his investigations went horribly wrong. While she is dropping him off she receives a call from her brother. He won't be able to accompany her on a gem buying trip (she also makes jewellery). Tristen overhears her and the next thing he knows he is accompanying her on her gem buying trip. Even though there is an attraction brewing neither try to take it further because he doesn't want to bring a person into his nightmare and she doesn't want to be involved with a military/government man. Both her father and brother work for the military and she doesn't want a husband who isn't around because the government has shipped him out or one that can't talk about his job. He's also afraid of loving someone and losing them. But can he walk away from the passion Erin ignites?
