Stephen Lyons, the second son of an earl, was always the black sheep of the family. After causing scandal at his brother's wedding, his family purchased him a commission in the army where they hoped he'd become a man of character. While at war Stephen earns a reputation as a courageous soldier, but then a sudden injury steals all memory of the previous year of his life. Imagine his surprise, when the rogue recovers and goes home to discover he has a son, and his family insists he marry the mother.
Lady Mercy Dawson is shunned by society and her family when she returns from Florence Nightingale's band of angels with an infant in tow. The child may not truly be hers, but she'll relinquish her reputation before she'll send the infant to an orphanage. Taken in by the baby's grandmother, the Duchess of Ainsley, she never expects to see again the dashing soldier who once flirted with her--least of all to force his hand in marriage. But as she falls for Stephen, Mercy can only hope his memories remain in shadows...
And as the quiet nurse and former rake find searing passion and tenderness in each other's arms, a blackmailer lurks, threatening to destroy their tenuous bliss. Stephen will have to face his past if he is to hold on to the woman who brought his son home, and who has utterly stolen his heart.
