CAN THEIR LOVE SURVIVE THE LONG WINTER OF WAR?

When Baroness Sophie von Korvacs meets British painter James Fraser one hot summer's day in Vienna, the attraction is instant. A whirlwind romance follows, with Vienna bathed in the brilliance of the last days of the emperor. And when James proposes to Sophie it seems a fitting end to that wonderful, enchanting summer.
But darker days are on the horizon as Europe teeters on the brink of war.

James must make the ultimate choice: love for King and Country or love for Sophie. Before he knows it, his difficult decision is made for him, and he and Sophie are on opposite sides of a bloody and devastating conflict.

Four bleak years of fighting and death roll by. Will Sophie's long winter ever end and can their love conquer all?
