Agnes, a blacksmith, runs the forge while her father fights in
the Continental Army. The morning after the Battle of Monmouth,
she discovers a wounded British soldier in her barn. Despite the
risk, she vows to heal him as she believes a good Samaritan
should. Edwin, third son of the Duke of Dalfour, was supposed to
become a barrister. He opted to run away and join the army. Shot
on a mission to deliver the general’s message, he wakes in
Agnes’s barn unaware of how he got there and missing his horse.
If he is caught, he could be hung, but Loyalists are also
searching for British deserters. If anyone discovers he is the
son of the Duke, he is doomed. Agnes tells everyone Edwin is her
mother’s cousin, but she soon finds herself falling in love with
him. When Loyalists kidnap her sister, Edwin vows to bring the
child back from the British held camp. Can Agnes trust him? Or
is he using her sister as an excuse to return to his company?
Will Agnes ever see her sister again? And will Edwin break her
heart?
