When solicitor's clerk George Johnson moves into a rented
London room in the winter of 1920, it's with a secret goal: to find out if his fellow
lodger, Matthew Connaught, is the wartime traitor who cost George's adored
older brother his life.
Yet as he gets to know Matthew—an irrepressibly cheerful ad
man whose missing arm hasn't dimmed his smile—George begins to lose sight of
his mission.
As Matthew's advances become ever harder to resist, George
tries to convince himself his brother's death was just the luck of the draw,
and to forget he's hiding a secret of his own. His true identity—and an act of
conscience that shamed his family.
But as their mutual attraction grows, so does George's desperation
to know the truth about what happened that day in Ypres. If only to prove
Matthew innocent—even if it means losing the man he's come to love.
This is a novel-length
expansion of previously published novella.
