Charity Matthews is set to marry. She should feel elated, right? After all, she's finally meeting society's expectations, even if it took longer than expected. But when Charity catches her fiancé, Evan, in the arms of another woman on their wedding day, she bolts from the church in a whirlwind of heartbreak and..relief? Before she knows it, she's on a train bound for anywhere but home-only to land at the door of her aunt, Ada and John Murray, the man she vowed to never see or speak of again.
Now, Charity must reckon with old wounds, buried desires, and the kind of love that defies both memory and the rigid rules of the world she left behind.

In the autumn of 1916, deep in rural Ontario, Clara DuBois, a young Black woman, spends her days tending to her aunt's modest farm and working as a nurse's aide at a military hospital overflowing with wounded soldiers.

Still, she finds purpose in her care-until a single encounter shatters the ground she's built her life on. When Lieutenant Edward Whitcombe, a well-born, sharp-tongued soldier from a wealthy Toronto family, is brought in with a shattered leg and a sharper temper, Clara is assigned to tend to his wounds. What begins as a clash of class, race, and stubborn wills slowly softens into something neither of them expected: understanding. And, perhaps, something even deeper. But as rumours stir and the shadow of separation looms ever larger, Clara and Edward must decide whether the emotions between them is strong enough to endure the forces determined to tear them apart.Concluida
