Jeanne never thought much of war, as it wasn't her place. She was used to living the life of a farm hand, stitching clothing for her brothers and herself, and cooking with her mother, Esme. When Jean, her older brother, left to train to join Napoleon's army, things started to change drastically. Henri, Jeanne's other brother, lost his leg in a farming accident and the cost of the surgery was so much that they couldn't buy him a prosthetic, nor could he make himself one. Jean stopped writing and his family couldn't help but think that he was dead, and soon Henri falls ill from an infection. Esme doesn't want Jeanne to die on a farm, so she sends her to work for the Bertrand's, a bourgeoisie family. Jeanne only agrees so she can support her family, but she didn't expect to find much more than a job.

The Napoleonic Wars have kept Captain Luke Cassidy away from home, and away from his wife and son, for three years. There was nothing more in his life that Luke wanted than to see his son for the first time. There was nothing more in his life that Luke wanted than to reunite with his family after three long years apart. But just as Britain can begin celebrating victory, Luke suffers an injury at the hands of the French that will change his life, and the life of his family, forever. Can a marriage between two people that have spent more time apart than together survive such a test? Or will Luke and Isabella succumb to the obstacles in their way? Not everything is as it seems.
