For more than three years, Nurse Frances Kendall and army surgeon Nick Carraker played by the rules of the Red Cross and the military and kept their warm friendship strictly platonic. Frances reasoned it was for the best since her family commitments would take her away after the war. She cannot have children of her own, and her widowed brother will need her at home with his when the war is over.
Nick told himself that a woman nineteen years his junior would think of him as a part of another generation, not as a potential husband. But in spring 1918, he returns from a rotation near the front lines with a grim outlook on the war and a renewed annoyance with every excuse to hide his affection for Frances. With the Germans firing on the city, he knows the distractions will make it easier to hide a love affair—if he can get around her reservations as well.
A battlefield on their doorstep makes all the rules that kept them apart a great deal less important, but when tragedy strikes, Nick might have to fight to help her leave rather than beg her to stay.
