The Widow of the Ninth Ward
Katherine Ashwood buried a husband in Portugal and nursed in a field hospital for two more years. She has come home to Dover with a pension, two trunks, and no interest in being anyone's scandal.
The hospital has no matron, and the surgeon who needs one is William Carew.
He is the man who amputated her husband's leg. He has never forgotten the ward, or her - the only woman who kept it standing when the orderlies ran.
William needs a matron he cannot hire without raising eyebrows. Katherine will take the post under her own name, with a written agreement. No more than that.
Two years on, the hospital board moves to ruin him for something that happened at Vimeiro, and Katherine is the only witness who can stop it.
A regency romance of reunion and second chances, where two people who have seen the worst of each other's work decide whether they want anything more than a post.
