A Love Unquenchable

Jessica Drummond, a bright and cheerful young woman, rarely gives romance, let alone love, a thought. Long hours working in her brother's shipping office affords little chance of her ever meeting an eligible bachelor.

Duncan Barrington, veteran of the Napoleonic Wars, believes himself wounded in both body and soul. He has no intention of inflicting his demons on anyone, certainly not a beautiful and, in his opinion, irresponsible city lady.

One cold & snowy morning, the plight of a bedraggled puppy throws Jessica and Duncan together. A spark of something indefinable yet wholly unquenchable begins to burn, and it is unclear who rescued whom.
