Amy

When ten year old Henry, Marquis of Lamport, discovers a child, frightened, starved, beaten, and half frozen hiding in his grandfather’s stables it was a moment that forever changed the course of his life. He vowed then to always protect Amy who was only four when she fled from the cruel man who took her after she was orphaned. Henry’s grandparents the Duke and Duchess of Warwick decide to take Amy in as their ward and raise her as their own. Henry and Amy become fast friends and for the next several years spend every waking moment of Henry’s visits to his grandparent’s estate enjoying each other’s company. As the years pass Amy is schooled in the etiquette of becoming a lady and Henry obtains a degree in medicine becoming one of the youngest physicians to enlist in the British military. But when Henry returns to his grandfather‘s estate to announce that he is following his dream of becoming an army surgeon, he is stunned to find the beautiful Amy is headed to London for her season debut. Henry is sent to Afghanistan and with an equal mix of fear, trepidation and hope in his heart, he realizes he must focus on his military duties or lose his life and the promise of any future with Amy. Little does he know that Amy faces her own turmoil in London as she battles the constant pain of missing Henry and the real life struggle to fight off the attentions of a dark and evil suitor, who has everyone fooled.
