This Regency romance touches upon the topics of homosexuality, strong-willed women, friendship between men and women, and unexpected passion between a man and a woman who had always viewed each other just as good friends. It takes place about 3 years after Waterloo when 4 former army officers who were very good friends meet in London after several years apart. Two are settled in marriage and family life and 2 are still bachelors. Enjoying an early morning ride in Hyde Park, they run into Sophia Armitage, now a widow who had followed the drum with her late officer husband and had welcomed the "Four Horsemen" into her home and been like a sister to each of them. Behind the facade of a frumpy, cheerful settled married woman and now a widow, she hides a secret that would shock all of London's ton if revealed.
