In Victorian England, women were not supposed to read the newspapers, much less travel to dangerous foreign countries. But the women who followed Florence Nighttingale onto the battlefields of the Crimean War did just that, earning themselves the sobriquet Angels of Mercy. Now join three spirited nurses as they risk it all to follow their dreams... and their hearts.

Promise Me Love

Practical and intelligent as well as beautiful, Lucinda Harrowby was, unfortunately, penniless. Making a successful match would be her only chance of a comfortable fututre, but her sojourn to the battlefields of Scutari had effectively discouraged potential suitors. Lucinda didn't care, for when she lost her innocence -- and her heart -- to a wealthy businessman Jeffrey Bancroft, she had also lost her taste for a traditionally loveless marriage. Yet Jeffrey's proposal smacked of obligation rather than romance -- and unless Lucinda could coax his private demons out of hiding, she'd never know if she'd provoked his honor... or won his love.
