Xena Maxwell fascinated Harry when he met her in an Army camp on the Peninsula. Heedless of convention after traveling the world with her scholarly father, she preferred breeches to dresses and was as gifted at repairing wounds as causing them, with pistol or sword. Harry's attraction and Xena's disregard for propriety ended in a forced wedding and immediate separation by her furious father. Wartime miscommunication led each to believe the other dead until, seven years later, they abruptly come face to face in London!
Overcoming their mutual shock, they agree to ignore that long-ago wedding and go their separate ways until Harry's meddling best friend tricks them into giving their marriage a chance by sharing a house for the month of December.
