Publisher Description
Captain Hepburn had a wife he didn't love and a mistress who made hand-crafted dolls; in fact, she'd made one in the image of the captain, resplendent in his military uniform, and now his wife wants to buy it. In this taut tale, love is a complicated battle, and the soldier is outflanked.
