Nicola Kelly is doing her best to survive on the crime-ridden Valley Park Estate in Newcastle, juggling two young children and a career criminal husband. The last thing she expects is to fall for DS Lee Jamieson – the detective sent to clean up the estate and dismantle the very criminal underworld her husband controls.

For Lee Jamieson, returning to his hometown should have been a fresh start. But meeting Nicola Kelly places him firmly between a rock and a hard place. His mission? Take down Micky Kelly – Nicola’s husband – and prove himself to his superiors. But his growing attraction to Nicola could jeopardize everything.

An affair with Micky’s wife could be fatal, but the chemistry between them is undeniable. Will they risk everything for each other, or will their dangerous attraction destroy them both?
