A delicious Regency romance filled with passion, sacrifice and the redemptive power of love.
Will they risk everything to be together?
War changes a man, and Captain Harry Marlow is no exception. Haunted by the horrors of the Crimean War, he now spends his time seeking solace in the quiet routines of military life. But when he encounters Charlotte 'Charlie' Cotton, a woman trapped in the gilded cage of a retired colonel's keeping, his world is thrown into turmoil.
Charlie longs for freedom from a life she never chose, and in Harry, she sees the possibility of something more - a love born not of obligation, but of passion and choice. As their attraction deepens, the risks become greater. Defying society and the powerful man who claims her, they find themselves on the brink of scandal and ruin.
Can Harry and Charlie find a way to be together?
