Could he be her knight in shining armor?
Colonel Gavin Romney, Earl of Hawkehurst returns home from Waterloo, wounded in body and spirit. He made a vow to a dying comrade that he would hunt down Napoleon Bonaparte and bring him to justice. As soon as he is recovered, Gavin intends to take up the chase. But first he must contend with a formidable adversary on the home front – his children’s governess, Hannah Fletcher.
Capable, caring Hannah cannot bear the possibility of her beloved charges being orphaned entirely, as she once was. She resolves to use the earl’s period of convalescence to help him bond with his five-year-old son and infant twins. Gavin doubts his ability to be a good father. He is a warrior, not a family man, as his unhappy marriage proved. But with Hannah’s encouragement he quickly comes to care for the babies and finds he might have a capacity for fatherhood after all.
He and Hannah gradually discover they were mistaken in their past judgments about one another. Gavin is conflicted about his growing attachment to him children and their governess, which threaten make him forget his sworn duty. Hannah struggles with her unexpected feelings for earl, which place both her heart and conscience at risk. When unfolding events in Europe bring matters to a head, Gavin offers an impulsive proposal. Will it only be a marriage of convenience for the sake of his children, as Hannah fears? Or can a wounded warrior become her knight in shining armor?
