Read this book when you are in a heat wave, it is set in the Swiss Alps and just reading the snowy weather made me feel cool.
The Raven - A ruthless mercenary with a heart of stone, he has been sent to the Hospice of Saint Bernard's, high up in the Swiss Alps, with a deadly mission.
The Rose - A woman raised by the holy men of Saint Bernard's, she knows little of the world beyond the mountains, yet her very existence threatens the foundations of Napoleon Bonaparte's ever-widening empire.
In the face of an approaching army and its fiercely determined leader, the Raven and the Rose risk everything for a love that should never have begun, but now can never be denied.
