Meg Sechrest

Love, war, and everything with it. Newly wed and quietly unraveling, Anne Harding finds herself alone in a society of proper skirts, tea parties, and poise. While Colonel Harding serves as an intelligence officer abroad, Anne faces a mounting storm of scandal, whispered doubts, and the kind of isolation no vow can protect her from. When the glow of duty fades and betrayal flickers to life, Anne must decide whether love can survive what silence and distance have shattered, or if she must rebuild what scandal and lies have destroyed from the embers alone.
