On the run from Napoleon's Grand Army, commanding a pathetic column of wounded men, Major Lev Orlov, has the misfortune to discover the Countess Irina Barova sheltering in a deserted inn. The fate of one woman, however helpless, is trivial compared to the Major's need to outpace Napoleon and reach the safety of Kaluga with his men.
 
 
 
Yet how can he abandon the gentle Irina? When he reluctantly offers her his protection, he realises that he has taken a step that will alter the rest of his life - unless the French cut it short.

Book Description

Fear stalked the weary travellers. On and on the crude carts rumbled―along sun baked roads where rising dust stung the eyes, through dense forests that coated bodies with sweat, past burned and blackened villages that filled souls with despair.

And their cargo of wounded and dying men could not forget for a moment that the feared French invaders were close behind.

But among them was one courageous young woman who, spurred on by the love in her heart, was determined to survive...even if others did not!

He was sick of the violence, the killing

In the face of the advancing might of Napoleon's Grande Armee, Major Lev Orlov longed for a return to normality. And the bewitching young countess, whom a bizarre twist of fate had placed in the hands of his band of battle-scarred infantrymen, seemed to embody all that was sane and beautiful.

Unfortunately, she was now completely at the mercy of these men who hadn't seen a woman in months. Orlov was determined to protect her...

... but how long could he protect her from his own wild stirrings of desire?
