About This Book
A captain seeking to repair the past and the daughter of a fallen gentleman, searching for a treasure that will change their lives forever.
As the Napoleonic wars come to an end, Lord Caspar Graysmark is eager to return to the comfortable life of an English lord. Yet, the newly earned tranquility is fleeting. Caspar, led by honor and duty, must first seek out a treasure of stolen gold—wealth unjustly looted during the war, now crucial for the recovery of devastated communities in France.
Amidst the dense forest, he discovers something—or rather, someone—even more extraordinary.Scarlett, a woman of mysterious background living in exile with her sister and ailing grandmother, is like a melody heard on the winds of the forest—captivating, but with a touch of melancholy.
With her family's history marred by unknown sins and subsequent banishment, the war has stripped her not just of her homeland, but also of hope. Caspar's sudden appearance, with his rugged charm and military demeanor, is a bittersweet reminder of the world she once knew.
As winter's icy fingers begin to recede, the urgency of Caspar's quest increases. Yet, as he finds himself drawn to Scarlett, his mission takes on a dual purpose. He still seeks the gold that could restore a torn nation, but he also yearns to offer Scarlett the sanctuary she so deeply needs. The question remains: can Scarlett open her guarded heart and allow Caspar to be her own personal treasure?
In this closed-door Regency romance, the frosty woods of France serve as a backdrop to a tale of hidden riches, both material and emotional. It's a quest for stolen gold that ends up unearthing invaluable love, all woven into a non-magical reimagining of the beloved fairy tale, Snow White and Rose Red.
