Until an operation to trap international money-launderer Frank Harling goes wrong - and Grace is almost beaten to death. After reconstructive surgery, Grace is physically restored to an icy beauty. But inside, her superiors fear that she has been irreversibly damaged. So when she insists on returning to duty, there are those who are certain she's going to crack.

Determined to track down the man who almost destroyed her, Grace is on a collision course with her worst nightmare...
