and Byrony has a constant reminder of her failure in a white streak of hair, the last sign she needed that it was time to cut and run from her husband. No one was more surprised than Byrony when Leo accepted, but it didn’t take long before the prediction of London high society proved true and the marriage ended in disaster and annulment. Regardless of her unappealing profession and over-the-hill age, she took a chance and proposed to Leo Marsden, the fifth son of an Earl and her old childhood neighbour from the Cotswolds. Not only a spinster, Byrony was also a female doctor and disgrace to her illustrious family. But as they risk their lives for each other on the journey home, will the biggest danger be the treacherous war around them-or their rekindling passion?īryony Asquith tried for happiness three years ago, and it failed miserably. Leo has no reason to think Bryony could ever forgive him for the way he treated her, but he won't rest until he’s delivered an urgent message from her sister-and fulfilled his duty by escorting her safely back to England. Why, then, three years after their annulment and half a world away, does he track her down at her clinic in the remotest corner of India? A man as talented, handsome, and sought after by society as Leo Marsden couldn't possibly want to spend his entire life with a woman who rebelled against propriety by becoming a doctor. Their marriage lasted only slightly longer than the honeymoon-to no one’s surprise, not even Bryony Asquith's.
