Philomena (Phil) McCarthy is a young, ambitious police officer with the Metropolitan Police in London. When she responds to a domestic violence call, she finds the victim, Tempe Brown, trying to protect her abuser, a married man named Darren Goodall, an honored Scotland Yard detective who is afraid of no one and not as honorable as he may seem.
As Phil pursues the case against Goodall, she not only encounters resistance from her police force colleagues but also becomes closely entangled with the victim Tempe who is not at all who she appears or states to be, much to the increasing endangerment of herself and Henry, her fiancée. Being a female in law enforcement was hard, but also being the daughter of a well-known mobster father, it makes her have to work harder for recognition and respect among fellow police.
This story twists to endanger Phil's reputation not only with her peers but her friends and family. Who is Tempe and what are her intentions? You will have to read the story to find out...
