'WASP is the acronym for the (fictional) Western Australian State Protection team.

'WASP has brought together every elite police department: tactical response, dignitary protection, covert surveillance, bomb technicians, negotiators, snipers - and more - to protect Western Australia from crime. This super team recruits only the best of the best — the fittest, the strongest, the most highly-trained — to do what nobody else can.'

'A disgraced police constable

'Luella Brayshaw is a great cop. Until she isn't.

'Dumped on desk duties and stripped of her firearm, Lou's first task is a civilian role in a covert training exercise for WASP. But when that exercise goes horribly wrong, she's stuck on a train to Fremantle with five terrified hostages - and the man who broke her heart more than a decade ago.

'An elite tactical operator

'Nate Rivers has dedicated his life to his career. That meant making tough choices — including walking away from Lou. But he's never doubted that decision... until now.

'Twelve years on, Nate is shocked to discover the connection between him and Lou is as electric as ever. But first — they need to get off this train.

'A desire they never forgot

'The gunman has no idea he has two cops on his train — but unarmed, can Nate and Lou keep everyone alive all the way to Fremantle?

'And if they do, Lou knows she can't make the mistake of trusting Nate with her heart again. But faced with a new threat, they must work together to survive as their passion ignites — and this time, there's no way Nate is walking away.'
