For nearly three years, British Officer Tristan
Whitmore fought bravely for King and Crown in
America. But his loyalty came at a price, and after
slowly recovering from battlefield injuries, it is
finally time to return to his beloved England and
his wife, Muriel. But there is to be no tender reunion
at Whitmore Manor—instead, Tristan is stunned
to learn of his wife's deceit in his absence and her
unexpected death. And to add to the shocking blow,
this devastating news is delivered by the last woman
Tristan ever hoped to see again.
Olivia Halstead lost everything after the death of
her father but found refuge with her cousin Muriel
while Muriel's husband was at war. Now, with the
loss of her cousin, Olivia feels she has trespassed too
long on the hospitality of the family. But before she
can depart, Muriel's husband returns, and Olivia's
own thorny history with the man comes rushing in. Years ago, theirs was a tender courtship—followed
too soon by a bitter parting of ways. Now two people
divided by past betrayal find an unforeseen chance
for reconciliation. But when Tristan and Olivia find
themselves on opposite sides of a revolution, will
their clashing allegiances tear them apart forever?
