The Honorable Officer

France, 1668 Helène de Bonnefoi's spirit has been squashed by the ever-critical aunt and uncle who raised her. Serving as nanny and stand-in mother to her cousin's child has saved her from the convent, especially after her cousin's death. When suspicious accidents threaten the toddler, Helène overcomes her near-blindness to seek the help of the child's father, a colonel in Louis XIV's army. Jean-Louis, Colonel de Cantière, has spent his life proving his worth, integrity, and honor, first to his family and now in the army. When his daughter's caretaker appears in his camp during a siege, claiming someone is trying to kill the girl, his loyalties are sorely tested. Helène must convince Jean-Louis the threat is real. But the true danger is to the heart of a shy young woman who has always loved her cousin's husband from afar and to the colonel's desire to resist complicated emotions.
