He was convinced the battle of Waterloo made him half a man...until he met her. Daniel Sinclair is a broken man with wounds that are physical and spiritual. He's weighed down by grief and guilt that he could not save his friend, Graeme Lennox, and is convinced that a French lance left him less than a man. He has no prospects. Nothing left but his tarnished honor. But then he meets a vexing boy who makes him question even that.
Fia Lennox's world turned on its end with her brother's death. She's gone in one fell swoop from lady to servant...to a woman on the run. The world is a dangerous place for a woman alone-even when she's masquerading as a boy-so when she meets up with a strong, valiant ex-cavalryman, she decides to become his traveling companion. Whether he likes it or not.
Battling villains, would-be-friends and their own finely-forged battlements, Fia and Daniel rush toward their destiny, a scorching passion and, hopefully, redemption. Can love conquer all? Even the ghosts of the past?
