LOVED THIS BOOK!!  A moment of passion that leaves a lasting life changing impression on both characters.  She is a nurse during a time of war in an era when genteel ladies are not to work.  She wants to be a surgeon, but that occupation is not an option for women.  Working as a nurse during wartime, she can get some surgical experience, but with her parents dead, her grandfather forbids her to go.  She assumes a new identity, meets an injured spy, has a night of passion, and disappears.He believes that her disappearance is because he has insulted her by offering her the position of mistress.  What should he do though?  It was the best sex he's ever experienced.  She was a virgin and not titled.  He is not ready to marry, so mistress is a grand offer to the likes of her.He spends years looking in vain for her , not knowing that she has given him a false name and in reality is a titled lady.  His brother sends him off to unwillingly fulfill his family obligation of a betrothal made during childhood.  Surprise, Surprise, but who should he run into on his way to announce his engagement?  The nurse who saved his life.  The nurse, whom he has never forgotten and uses to measure all other women by.  Could it be that their one night of passion together was not as life changing for her as it had been for him?  Why is she so secretive?  Why won't she renew their old acquaintance?  What does the family of his betrothed know of her, but will not say?  Read the book to find out the answers.  Great Story.
