Great War, 1914
British Red Cross nurse Maria Hunt lives in daily fear that the Germans will uncover her secret: she helps wounded British soldiers escape.
Lieutenant John Bennet is wounded and running out of options. Trapped behind enemy lines while collecting intelligence, he needs to get out of Belgium if he's going to escape with the information and his life.
Maria is devoted to her patients and her cause, but something else compels her to risk her life for this soldier. While a man of Lieutenant Bennet's station would barely speak to her in other circumstances, something in his kind eyes inspires a passion deep within her.
As his injuries worsen, can Maria find the courage to guide him through the war-torn countryside? And should they make it back to England, will their burgeoning desire survive the ravages of war?

Rowe (North of Heartbreak) takes readers behind enemy lines during WWI for danger and romance. Determined to help her country despite her low social status, Belgian nurse Maria Hunt faces danger daily while working in a hospital surrounded by German soldiers. Then she discovers a wounded British rifleman hiding in a hospital closet. Lt. John Bennet has information key to Britain’s defense, and he needs help getting past the Germans. John and Maria set off for the border, but outwitting the enemy may not prove half as challenging as denying their growing feelings for one another. Certain that her lack of social status will doom their budding romance, Maria doesn’t expect John’s interest in her to last beyond their reaching safety. He will have to convince her, as well as his upper-class family, that his love is for real. Rowe effectively recreates the wartime setting and its rigid social mores in a stirring story.
