Red, Red Rose

Unconventional Elspeth Gordon followed the drum because her father was an officer in the Napoleonic wars. But when her carriage was attacked by ruthless Spanish bandits, it was Lieutenant Val Aston who rescued her. Though Elspeth fell in love with Val, he was a man of honor who considered his birth far beneath hers—though he, too, found his heart captured by Elspeth.
