It’s hard to connect with the living when you’re able to communicate with the dead. Shipped off to the Continent, Lady Mary Masterson is determined to make the most of her time in France—especially when the man who once called her a witch turns up to meet her upon her arrival. If only she could ignore the effect he has on her fluttering heart and the voices who constantly harp on the advantages of marrying the man. Battlefield promises are easy to make and hard to keep. Gilbert Talbot, the Earl of Waterford, may have promised Mary’s dying brother to care for her, but that didn’t stop him from avoiding the woman whose mere presence causes every cell in his body to come alive. Fate has once again placed Mary in Gilbert’s path, only this time, he is on a dangerous mission. When secret agreements are revealed, will Mary flea or accept her destiny?
