This is a deliciously written story about two lonely people who find each other after they are married to each other. While off at war, Catherine Dunnan's husband can't be bothered with writing to his wife. His colonel, Moncrief takes up the task and eventually becomes besotted with the other man's wife. When Catherine's husband dies, Moncrief decides to visit her, just to make sure she is doing well; he is on his way home to claim his new role as duke.
When Moncrief gets there, he finds Catherine almost dead from an overdose of opium. He saves her life and then marries her. Three days later, they are on their way to Moncrief's ducal estates. The rest of the story is about how Catherine falls in love with her husband.
There is also suspense in this tale; someone is not happy that Catherine has married Moncrief and decides to do something about it. This is a beautifully written story that I expect to read again and again.
