Grant Cooper is England's finest. He's on a four-year tour of duty as an exchange flight officer to the United States Coast Guard. Always the man in control, he's the model of the perfect Search And Rescue pilot.

After all, there are enough constraints in her life as an Emergency room nurse and volunteer Coast Guard Auxiliary crew woman. When fate throws the two back together in the middle of a heart pounding emergency, will Grant be able to put the requirements of his position aside long enough to save his crew and their love?
