Book description
With her family's fortune in ruins, Harriet Handley has given up her
aspirations of becoming an author. All effort must go to helping her
pretty sister Sophie marry well. But when Sophie's wealthy beau returns
from the war, he is no longer a wild, lighthearted youth. And while
Sophie is dismayed by the transformation, Harriet finds this thoughtful,
war-weary man utterly intriguing.... Waterloo left Captain John Brookes
scarred in body and mind, and Sophie's lukewarm reception only adds to
his pain. In contrast, Harriet's compassion and gentle faith bring
solace as they collaborate on his memoirs. Perhaps joyful new memories
can be made if the wrong sister turns out to be the right wife. With
