They can''t wait to show the men just what they''re made of.But soon, Maggie realises she''s in over her head. Hiding her involvement with the WPV from her tyrannous father is becoming ever more difficult, and when she bumps into an old acquaintance with a big chip on his shoulder, the dangers of her new life become all too clear . . .As Maggie and the girls work together to find their feet on the beat, will their friendship get her through the darkest of times?
