Could a chance encounter grant her freedom, or as her family would prefer, will she remain in her cage until her dying day?Lieutenant Sawyer Cook has fought many bloody battles in the Americas, but it is the struggle of a lifetime once he returns to the country that he calls home. The indifference that proper society shows him is due to his lack of a title, but little does the ton know that they are in the midst of one of Britain's finest. Without courage and determination, Lieutenant Cook faces a society in which all doors are firmly closed in his face. Romance ensues, scandals are wrought, and real identities are revealed. Trapped between duty and longing, can Lady Vivian break the bonds that hold her tight, or will the grit and force of a soldier be enough to break her shackles? 2nd edition - Historical and technical flaws edited.
