After enduring her unfaithful husband's murder and the destruction of her reputation, Viscountess Charlotte Haliday resolves to return to society, the gossip-mongers, and her disapproving father. She'll be content with her true friends and her charitable work. She doesn't expect to be working with a man like David Scott: a hero soon to be awarded the Victoria Cross, broken physically yet still the most exhilarating and intimidating man she's ever known. From the moment they meet in a shadowy alcove, he awakens a passion she's never before felt. She in turn shows him life did not end on the battlefield...and he needn't be alone.
