After a deadly sickness steals her sister and brother-in-law, Evelyn Hart spends her days tending her quiet farm and raising her young niece far from the judgment of town society.
At the season's Harvest Ball, Clara disappears into the crowd - and Evelyn's desperate search leads her to Captain Theodore Ashbourne, a gentleman soldier with kind eyes, a gentle smile, and a strange sense of familiarity.
What begins with a single dance soon turns into whispered courtships, winter letters, and a love that refuses to fade.
But while society mocks the idea of a captain falling for a farm girl, Theodore carries a secret of his own:
He has been searching for Evelyn for ten years.
A story of old letters, ballroom dances, grief, healing, and the kind of love that remembers.
