Robert blames himself, as he is the one who paid his brother's commission. He leaves London
suddenly and plans to remain in the country for a few days. Soon his few days have turned
into weeks as he tries to come to terms with his brother's death.
Jane Chandler must find a way to get to Portugal to bring her brother home. Knowing
that he had served with Stefan, she requests Robert's help, never imagining that he would
actually make the trip with her. After all, she is an independent woman who has never
relied on anyone else.
Neither ever imagined that they would find true love together, but that is exactly what
happens. However after their marriage, Robert's jealousy threatens to rip the couple apart.

that can come between two people when they fall in love. As things from the past threaten
to destroy their happiness, the couple will have to learn to let go and trust in the love
they have for each other. Ms. Statham has truly given readers an enjoyable and relaxing read
that will have you glued to the pages from the beginning until the end.
