Publisher's Synopsis
Luke Trenwith is back at Trenwith Hall, relatively unscathed but surer than ever that life will never be the same. Keen to fulfil his promise to Jack Barlow, the Trenwiths' former groom, he heads to London to tell Rose Barlow the not-altogether-truthful news that her brother died a hero. It's not long before the old emotions are stirred again, but Luke has promised his dying father that he will marry well. Marriage to a former servant seems impossible and Rose is not the kind of girl to settle for anything less. With Luke promised to another woman, it seems they are both doomed to unhappy lives, unless they can erase the lines of class distinction...
