An English lady of breeding betrays her family by marrying a working-class soldier in this WWII romance from the author of A Mind of Her Own.

Lieutenant Kate Russell had her post-war life all mapped out, planning to marry a man with a pedigree as sound as her own. Because confidence, beauty, and privilege were advantages she took for granted. And besides, her aristocratic parents had great plans for her.

Then she met Robert Campbell, a mere staff driver. Handsome in a rugged, rawboned sort of way, his lack of breeding both excited and intrigued her. Her family, initially outraged by the proposal, would only accept their marriage if Robert climbed the ranks of the army.

But when the Allied forces declare victory and Robert achieves the rank of Major, Kate finds she has another bitter war to fight. Trapped by her parents' possessive demands, tormented by Robert's passionate but wayward love, she fights her own lonely battle to save her marriage and her reputation.
