Julia Bancroft has been hiding. After killing her high-born husband (who was, of course, an asshat who really deserved it), she faked her own death and then became a midwife. But her past has caught up with her and she's been kidnapped by her husband's right-hand man. Luckily, Major Alexander is on-hand to rescue her. He's just sold out of the army because he's the heir-apparent to an earl. While he knows that he should find a young, biddable debutante, he's too much in-lust with Julia to even think about anybody else. So, they need to overcome her past as well as his family to get together but it's a fun book.
