Their love is forbidden by rules, religion and risk. Yet still they can't resist.

Captain Hugh Wilkes is on his last tour of duty in Afghanistan. The British Army is withdrawing, and Wilkes expects his posting to be event-free. That is, until he meets his Afghan interpreter, Rustam Balkhi, who awakens desires in Wilkes that he'd almost forgotten about, and that won't be ignored.

Please note: this book was previously published as part of the Unconditional Surrender bundle.
