Gaunt and wearing an eye patch, Army Major Ian Cameron
returns to India after being freed from horrendous
captivity in Central Asia. Thoughts of his beautiful
fiancée helped him survive his imprisonment, but a lot can
happen when a man has supposedly been dead for two years,
and his return brings him face to face with how much he
has lost.
An unexpected inheritance gives him the opportunity to
return home to Scotland and begin a new life. First,
though, he must fulfill the dying wish of the Russian
officer who had shared his captivity by delivering the
colonel’s journal to his niece, Larissa Alexandrovna
Karelian.
The daughter of tempestuous Russian aristocrats, Laura
Stephenson loved her quiet English stepfather and was
happy to follow him to India as companion and hostess. His
death leaves her adrift—until a handsome, haunted Scot
appears to deliver her uncle’s journal.
Startled to find a grown woman rather than a little girl,
Ian quickly realizes that Laura is uniquely qualified to
be his wife in an unconventional marriage. She accepts his
offer and together they begin the long journey home to
Britain with a side trip to the mountains to retrieve the
belongings her uncle left with a friendly maharajah. In
the process, they are swept into an adventure that
threatens the future of India, and brings them together
with a love and passion that is more than either of them
had dared dream of.
