As a lover of animals and nature, Beatrix Hathaway has
always been more comfortable outdoors than in the ballroom.
Even though she participated in the London season in the
past, the classic beauty and free-spirited Beatrix has never
been swept away or seriously courted…and she has resigned
herself to the fate of never finding love. Has the time come
for the most unconventional of the Hathaway sisters to
settle for an ordinary man—just to avoid spinsterhood?
Captain Christopher Phelan is a handsome, daring soldier who
plans to marry Beatrix's friend, the vivacious flirt
Prudence Mercer, when he returns from fighting abroad. But,
as he explains in his letters to Pru, life on the
battlefield has darkened his soul—and it's becoming clear
that Christopher won't come back as the same man. When
Beatrix learns of Pru's disappointment, she decides to help
by concocting Pru's letters to Christopher for her. Soon the
correspondence between Beatrix and Christopher develops into
something fulfilling and deep…and when Christopher comes
home, he's determined to claim the woman he loves. What
began as Beatrix's innocent deception has resulted in the
agony of unfulfilled love—and a passion that can't be denied…
