Grace has come a long way since she first met Joe. Timid and shy, she cowered in fear of his bouts of anger and jealousy. But when he falls into another drunken stupor, she seizes her chance to escape and flees America for a new start in England, praying he won't come after her.
Secretly boarding the Queen Mary, she wanted to stay in the shadows and wasn't planning on meeting anyone, but then Colby appeared, as if sent by divine timing. Caring and gentle, he is the opposite of Joe, but he is hiding a secret and now they are both on the run.
