Blurb


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.
