Beatrix Hathaway loves to heal wounded creatures, so when a soldier with a wounded soul pours his heart out onto a page, does she really have any choice but to comfort him? Christopher Phelan is known as a war hero with a rakish past, but after seeing all the horrors of war, he doesn't know who he is anymore. Will he take kindly to the fact that a young lady whom he once deemed as quite odd has been the one whose words have sent his heart soaring? Or will her initial deception overshadow their chance at love? Let's visit the Hathaways in Lisa Kleypas' Love in the Afternoon! **more spoilers than a hedgehog has quills!**
