Crowthorne Bay, 1856: a weatherworn village perched on the edge of the North Sea. Rose Garrick, the obedient daughter of a war profiteer and veteran of the Crimean War, spends her days behind the counter of her family's seaside shop, quietly observing the world and dreaming of something just beyond reach.

When a solitary woman takes up residence in the old lighthouse beyond the cliffs, curiosity draws Rose from her usual path. Whispers in the village speak of the stranger, a nurse returned from war, living alone without family or husband. Unusual. Improper. Intriguing.
