About the book
Argentina has set in motion an invasion of the Falkland Islands, and the British fleet is poised to meet and repulse the attack. The wild card is the Exocet -- the enemy, close to acquiring the deadly French missile, will soon be capable of smashing British defenses -- and throwing the global balance of power into chaos. Tony Villiers was the hardest, most ruthless man Gabrielle had ever fallen in love with. That was why she had married him, why she had divorced him . . . and why she was horrified to learn that she would be working against him again by order of British Intelligence!
