Bath, 1816. Clytemnestra Preston has withdrawn from Society, too frightened even to venture beyond the safety of her room. Her worried family cannot understand what has transformed the lively but bookish young woman they know-and Clytie isn't ready to tell them. Doctor Samuel Whittington, late of His Majesty's Army, knows something about unseen wounds. More importantly, he pays attention. As Sam slowly earns Clytie's trust, he begins to understand that her fears have a cause. Helping her find her way back into the world may put his own heart at risk. Before Clytie can imagine a future with Sam, she'll have to decide whether she can trust him with the truth.
