His Lady of Iron — Charlotte Jardine

Invisible wounds hurt the most.

An iron-willed nurse haunted by memories of the patients she failed to save. An injured baronet hell-bent on self-destruction. Can they find solace in each other?

Newly returned from the Crimean War, nurse Clementine Ashby is an embarrassment to her middle-class parents. She reluctantly takes a private position, caring for the charming yet self-indulgent injured war veteran Sir William St George, who is determined to sabotage his own recovery. Plagued by memories of the soldiers she failed to save, Clem must harness every ounce of determination to help her handsome patient recover. As he slowly heals, they grow ever closer, despite her resolution to resist his charm. But can she trust this wayward baronet with her heart?

Sir William St George doesn't believe he deserves to recover from the leg wound he sustained during the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade. Blaming himself for his elder brother's death during the same ill-fated attack, Will rejects his title and family estate, and drowns his misery in whisky. When his concerned sister hires a strong-minded nurse to bully him back to health, he slowly realises Clementine Ashby has the power to heal more than his wounded leg -- if only he'll let her. But does he deserve love after what he's done?
