Charlie Fox didn’t really care who shot dead her ex-army comrade during a bodyguard training course in Germany. But when old flame Sean Meyer asks her to go undercover at Major Gilby’s elite school and find out what happened, she just can’t refuse.

Keeping her nerve isn’t easy as events bring back fears and memories she’s worked so hard to forget. And trying to blend in by playing down her abilities proves a real challenge.

She’s going to need all her skills. There are secrets here worth killing for, and some of the students have more on their minds than simply learning about close protection.

Subjects like revenge, and murder.

And what’s the connection between Major Gilby and the spate of vicious kidnappings that have left a trail of bodies halfway across Europe?

Charlie expected training to be tough, but will she graduate from this school of hard knocks alive?
