Major's Muslin — Marie-Louise Hall

Lallie Ross had lost everything in life, except her dignity... Now, with her parents and her fortune gone, she thought life couldn't possibly get any worse for her and her younger sister -- until Major Alex Haldane reappeared from the dead! Stunned by the returned Alex's relentless pursuit, Lallie struggled to feign indifference to his attempts to win her back. For though she knew that she had few options for her future, Alex's offer of marriage stirred up painful memories of their earlier love. And Lallie wasn't certain she could ever risk giving Alex her heart again, when it was the only thing she had left in the entire world.
