| Enid Maclean has been estranged from her husband, Stephen Maclean, for nine years. But when she is told he is dying, she agrees to go nurse him. She finds him under heavy guard at an English estate. He has been horribly wounded by an explosion in the Crimea which killed the man he was with. No one will tell her exactly what he was doing, but his companion was a spy and there is still a threat on his life.
Despite her resentment and anger over her husband's abandonment of her, her pride in her nursing skills takes over and she works tirelessly to save her husband's life. As he recovers, he cannot remember who he is. Enid tells him he is her husband, but she is confused. He still has the same fascinating green eyes and a Scottish accent, but the irresponsible, selfish gambler now seems more mature, determined and even noble in his thoughts and actions. Even sex with him turns out to be far better than she ever experienced during the short time they had been together nine years ago. An attempt on Maclean's life causes them to flee to Scotland. As Enid remains in daily contact with Maclean, she begins to suspect he is not her husband. | ||
