Publisher's Synopsis
Cora Jameson has a secret.
Cast out of her comfortable family home at eighteen, pregnant and alone, she's been forced through hard work and determination to find a position to support herself. After five years of working her way up the social ladder she once fell from, she's comfortable, employed, and content. Until Simon returns. Simon Bristley, Lord Craven, lost everything dear to him at Waterloo. Wounded, struck dumb by cannon, and understanding his one true love had wed another, he returns to England with a hero's welcome and throws himself into work beneath the station of an Earl. Until he finds Cora once again. Now, these two lost lovers must sail a tide of misunderstanding and lies that have kept them apart for six long years.
