Not even his name. Confused, he isn't unhappy to learn that Leah is his wife, though he loathes having landed in a nest of smugglers. Geoffrey struggles to regain his strength and falls deeply in love with the woman he believes is his - until the day his less-than-reputable past catches up with him.
