Two broken hearts. One last chance at love.

Fleeing the violence of Napoleonic France, Annalise Auclair arrives in England with nothing but her determination and the promise of a fresh start with the captain who saved her on the battlefield. Though grateful for safety and her new position as a maid, she quickly learns that exile carries its own burdens. Loneliness, suspicion, and a longing for something better.

Widower Percival Tyson has spent years burying himself and his duty in grief and alcohol. The memory of his lost happiness demands all of him, leaving no room in his heart to heal or find new love. Until Annalise, brilliant, wounded, and unafraid, upends every expectation.

Drawn together by loss, they discover grief is a bridge rather than a wall.

As a scheming butler's interference and a deadly illness threaten to divide them, they must choose if love is worth the heartbreak or risk letting it slip away forever.
