"Abandoned in France since boyhood, despite being heir to an English barony, Sebastian St. Clair makes impossible choices to survive a tour of duty in the French Army. He returns to England hoping for the peaceful life of a country gentleman, though old enemies insist on challenging him on the field of honor, one after another. Millicent Danforth desperately needs her position as companion to the Traitor Baron's aunt, but grieves to learn that Sebastian must continually fight a war long over. As Sebastian and Milly explore their growing passion, they uncover a plot that will cost Sebastian his life and honor, unless he does battle once more."--Back cover.

This was a surprisingly tepid read for me - a disappointment since I was so excited to read about Girard, the man who had tortured Christian (from The Captive) when he was a prisoner. I was curious to see how Burrowes could redeem such an apparently twisted man. Well, she did it by giving him a woman that seemed all too eager to overlook his scary past. I had hoped for more conflict, more emotional hand wringing I suppose - it was a more realistic approach, I feel. Instead, it's all very...boring, and the mystery of who wants Girard dead is hardly a mystery. Everyone seemed to accept Girard far too easily. Oh well. It could have been better.
