A Duke haunted by the ghosts of the battlefield, a Lady who remembers the man he once was, an unexpected compromise, a call to courage in the face of despair, a love redeemed despite it all.******* READ ON KINDLE UNLIMITED *****Lord Devlin Vickery went to war eleven years ago, driven by a sense of duty, and the hope of glory. Now, he returns home a broken man, driven only by his sense of duty, to take up the title of Duke of Grimstoke after his father’s death. His experiences have left him haunted by the ghosts of death and destruction, detached from the real world, and certain that he will never truly feel any warmth in his life again. Only one memory gives him the faintest of hopes. Lady Desdemona Shelton is twenty five, and still unwed, having turned away every suitor. Though her mother despairs, she is determined to wait for the only man she has ever loved – a man she worries may have been lost to her forever, fallen on the battlefield. But, when he returns, he is changed. Before she can come to terms with that, circumstances trap them into a life together. Can Mona break through the icy detachment which separates Devlin from the warmth of love? Can Devlin face the battlefield that is society, without the horrors of his memories overwhelming him? Can they, together, find a way to happiness, to love, to a life not haunted by the destruction of war? Or will the ghosts of the lost steal their future?
