About This Book

A wounded veteran brings a reserved young woman to his rural household as a personal ally in a fraught domestic situation, and their journey and early conversations—touching on war, injury, pride and social standing—establish a charged dynamic of attraction and calculation. The newcomer insists on complete autonomy from parental or outside influence, promising to act freely within the household. As personalities adjust and collide, the narrative examines subtle power plays, shifting alliances, and the tensions between desire, control and individual independence.
