When a young boxer turns up dead, private nurse Maribeth Trumbull is determined to find out what happened - even if it means endangering her own life. But Boston police officer Ben Daniels is dead-set against her sticking her nose in the case - especially when he finds himself falling passionately in love with the beautiful, strong-willed nurse. But when Maribeth is threatened by a man who has no qualms about committing murder, Ben must find a way to rescue her, before he loses any chance at a future with the woman who has stolen his heart.
