On the night before the final
battle against Napoleon, Lady Delphine St. James finds herself dancing with the
one man she has always wanted, Major Lord Stephen Ives. He makes it clear he
has no time for a lady he sees as flirtatious and silly, but as the call to
arms sounds, she bids him farewell with a kiss that stirs them both. When he
returns gravely injured, she is intent on caring for him, even if his surly
behavior tests her patience.After the battle, Stephen is not only wounded and blind, but falsely accused of cowardice and theft. The only light in his dark world is Delphine, the one woman he never imagined he could desire. But she deserves more than he can give her.
As their feelings deepen and hidden enemies conspire to force them to part forever, can their love survive the cruelest test of all?

Excerpt
Stephen
pushed his way through the crowded streets to his quarters, a house he shared
with five other unmarried officers. Marching columns of men filled every
boulevard and alley, flowing like a river toward the city’s southern gate.
Officers waded through the flood on horseback, bawling orders. Women waved and
cried, and children marched alongside the soldiers until their mothers caught
their hands and pulled them back. The heavy beat of the march step pounded like
thunder in Stephen’s breast. He was late. He should have left the ball much
earlier, and he would have it hadn’t been for Delphine St. James. He had not
expected to see her there. She’d kissed him. And he had kissed her back. It
hadn’t been a sisterly peck, or a fond send off for an old acquaintance. It had
been a lover’s kiss. It had been surprising and unexpected, but not unpleasant.
In fact, he’d found it very pleasant indeed, and that surprised him most of
all. Of all the eligible females on earth, Delphine St. James was the last
woman he’d have chosen for what might well be his last kiss. He’d thought that
honor would belong to another woman. The familiar ache of losing her filled
him. He ran a hand through his hair, but it was the faint ghost of Delphine’s
perfume, not Julia’s, that rose around him. What had Julia’s perfume
been? He couldn’t remember. Odd—he hadn’t thought of Julia Leighton for hours,
and it was the first time in weeks that she hadn’t filled his mind every waking
minute of the day. He tried to picture her as he’d last seen her, at another
ball, months ago, in Vienna. He’d lost her to a man far less worthy of her in
Stephen’s opinion than he himself would have been. He loathed balls.
