Young, beautiful and talented, Heather Kerr has found success quickly as a television presenter. She is about to make it into the 'National' big time when an illness to her friend and TV director, Alec Seaton, changes her life dramatically. Luke Barron, a high-flying freelance programme maker, is brought in to take over and, perhaps promote the programme to the National network

Heather is forced to fight against Luke's unjustly cynical opinion of her in order to win professional recognition - the problem is, she finds she also has to fight against her own overpowering feelings for this devastatingly handsome and complex man.
