Ada meets a handsome stranger, Daniel Barnes, and the sparks fly, they can`t stand each other!
His mischievous friend Barney Bekker doesn’t help with her bad opinion, but despite bad first impressions their love grows until it is too powerful to deny, until a war-weary Florence tears them apart with lies and deceit.
Will their love endure? All before Danny is deployed to the 262 Squadron RAF in St Lucia, to fly surveillance missions in the PBY5 Catalina airplanes.
