A British soldier finds love on the battlefield in this sweeping historical romance of the Napoleonic Wars.

While fighting under Wellington in the Peninsular War, Captain Gabriel Deane saved a French widow from his own marauding compatriots. Though the brave soldier has known his share of pain, nothing has wounded him more deeply than her rejection of his hand in marriage.

Saying no to Gabriel broke Emmaline Mableau’s heart, but being a soldier’s widow had already cost her family too much. Now she wears Gabriel’s ring around her neck: a reminder of the man who can never be hers.

But as the wars continue to rage, Emmaline’s son grows up to seek vengeance against his mother’s attackers. Now Emmaline’s hand trembles as she goes to knock on Gabriel’s door, determined to make a proposal of her own . . .
