England reels in the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars. Mark, haunted by months of imprisonment and torture, is determined to become the “a perfect aristocrat with a perfect life.” Jillian, most at home in the countryside, spends her time and allowance helping widows and unemployed veterans. Mark, injured in the war and confined to a wheeled chair, shows them both that love is the way to happiness and peace of heart.

Notable Error: On the book cover, the publisher depicts a happy night-time picnic scene with the earl accompanied by his blond, serene mistress instead of the feisty, curly-headed heroine, Jillian Lamb.
