Summary

From USA Bestselling author Patricia Potter, a gripping new suspense novel about the demands of honor -- and the demands of the heart.

Long ago, in the waning years of World War II, a Nazi train was captured by the Allies. Its cargo -- a fortune in stolen art and gold dust -- vanished. Now, two strangers are about to become engulfed in its tantalizing mystery.

Influenced by her rebellious, hippy mother and the tragic legacy of her authoritarian grandfather -- a retired general -- history professor Amy Mallory vowed never to fall for a man in uniform. But her late grandfather's private files exposes her to a dangerous -- and tempting -- world she never imagined . . .

Colonel Lucien (Irish) Flaherty has devoted his life to duty, honor, country. But all that he believes is shattered when his grandfather's honor is tainted by scandal -- and by secrets that link his past to that of a beautiful stranger, secrets that someone would kill to keep buried, secrets that bring Amy and Irish together in unexpected passion and inescapable peril.
