Captain Robert Nichols used to believe a thing was right, or it was wrong, but his failure to save his sister from a tragic death at the hands of a group of drunken cavaliers changed everything. Haunted by the past and hardened after years of fighting, all he wants now is  a little peace, something he hopes to find on his estate, Cressly. When King Charles II decides to confiscate it to reward one of his backers it seems that all is lost, but a friend the captain aided in the past intervenes with the king, who makes him an offer. Marry his mistress, a beautiful courtesan with humble beginnings and provide a respectable cover for an illicit affair and he will keep his lands and be richly rewarded. 

The woman’s name is Hope, and in more ways than he can possibly imagine, she may be the only hope he has left.
