Yvonne Carmichael has worked hard to achieve the life she always wanted: a high flying career in genetics, a beautiful home, a good relationship with her husband and their two grown up children. Then one day she meets a stranger at the Houses of Parliament and, on impulse, begins a passionate affair with him--a decision that will put everything she values at risk.

All of her careful plans spiral into greater deceit and, eventually, a life-changing act of violence
