"I fight dirty, I kill for a living and I'm not capable of being faithful."

Yes, Flint is illegitimate, a roughened soldier and an incorrigible rake--but Rose has never met a man so defined by honor. Who else, when faced with a lady rendered memoryless by the traumas of war, would resist the intense attraction that burns between them? Rose might not know her own name, but she knows her heart--and her heart wants Flint!

Library Journal Review

Maj. Adam Flint has no idea of the identity of the lovely, silent woman he rescued from a band of deserters in Waterloo's aftermath-a woman he's decided to call Rose-and neither does she. Shock has robbed her of both memory and speech, and her total trust in Adam makes her his responsibility until she recovers. Slowly, the pieces begin to fall into place, but by the time they do, Rose and Adam's relationship has become serious, making the revelation that Rose is a viscount's daughter problematic to say the least. VERDICT Social expectations collide with wartime reality in a tender, well-written story that brings a loyal, baseborn officer and a gently bred heroine together in a satisfying romance that nicely ties up the series. Allen (Compromised Lady) divides her time between a village in Bedfordshire and a cottage on the Norfolk coast of England. © Copyright 2015.
