From the back cover:
His identity was none of her affair!
'John Smith' was something of an enigma. Plainly gently born, he had been fighting in the Peninsular War and had apparently lost his memory. While widowed Mrs. Davinia Darling felt sorry for him, she saw no reason why he should be embraced in the bosom of *her* family. Nor did she see why her own services were needed to aid Mr. Smith in his search for his identity!
She refused to contemplate how intriguing she found the undercurrent of his laughter. Or how unsettling was his effect on her. The sooner he regained his memory, the more quickly she could return to her safe, unflustered life!
