In London, John meets the woman calling herself his widow. Except he isnt dead and hes not married.

Faith spent years trying to ignore the presence of Lieutenant-Colonel Dalkington-Smythe, her husbands military commander. Finding herself in dire straits after Waterloo, she poses as his widow. She only ever meant it as temporary. To find that John is alive comes as a severe shock, but her feelings for him are as strong as ever. The passion John and Faith discover together is worth fighting for. Someone is threatening to expose Faiths deception and destroy Johns fortune and position in society. If they dont discover the identity of their unknown enemy and thwart the schemes, John and Faith could lose everythingtitle, fortune and even their lives.
