When Captain Barry Shere was blinded during the war, he created rules for himself: keep smiling, never trade on his infirmity, and never be a burden to anyone. But his carefully ordered existence is shattered when he and the captivating Corrie Lyndon are kidnapped by revolutionaries plotting to overthrow the British government.Hidden in a remote country house, Barry must use his unique skills to navigate danger. His blindness becomes an unexpected advantage as he uncovers the conspirators’ plans through secret listening posts and his extraordinary memory of the mansion’s layout from his post-war recovery there.As Barry and Corrie grow closer amid mounting danger, he faces his greatest challenge: maintaining his independence while acknowledging his deepening feelings for her. When their captors threaten to broadcast a signal triggering nationwide violence, Barry must confront both the ruthless mastermind Manoukian and his own fears about love and vulnerability.Despite all odds, Barry’s courage and resourcefulness lead to the plot’s discovery, but not before a desperate final confrontation that leaves him fighting for his life-and for a future he never dared imagine possible.
