Province of Canada, 1860

A desperate escape. A forbidden encounter. A love that defies every expectation.

When Sarah Moore flees an unwanted betrothal and hides in a stranger’s bed, she’s prepared to risk everything to reclaim her freedom. What she doesn’t expect is James Sedgwick—bare-chested, blue-eyed, and far too handsome for her peace of mind. Their scandalous first meeting sparks more than shock—it ignites a passion neither of them can forget.

But Sarah is the daughter of a powerful military man. And James, a visiting Englishman with obligations of his own, is destined to return across the sea. When fate brings them together again in Montreal, both must choose between duty and desire, fear and freedom.
