For her entire life, Lenora had done nothing but search for her compass. She found her North in her best friend, Johnny MacTavish, with whom she had practically grown up. Their lives had never been easy, and their relationship had been tested multiple times. Her certainties crumbled completely when, over the years, Johnny was recruited into the army. Despite having to learn to fend for herself, Lenora continued to wait for him, even though the cracks in their relationship had become a chasm. On Johnny's birthday, Lenora, who had always been in love with him, was invited to his party at a club, with the promise that they would finally talk about their situation. Something didn't go as she had hoped, and she decided to leave. In a moment of desperation, this is where Simon Riley comes in-the brooding SAS lieutenant, as well as Johnny's friend and colleague. From the start, Simon proved to be a very peculiar man, with a rough character but also a certain sensitivity. So different, yet in some ways so similar, Lenora and Simon soon discovered they had a kind of silent affinity. This quickly drew them into each other's arms, weaving a tangled web of lies behind their backs. Johnny wasn't supposed to find out.
