She Shall Be Praised (Leighton Sisters #2)

Paris, France 1817.
Tender-hearted Katie Leighton can't resist a stray mutt or mangy cat, much less the outcasts of society. When she accompanies her sister Hester and brother-in-law Gerrit (from The Rogue's Redemption) to Paris after the fall of Napoleon, she prefers visiting the wounded and maimed veterans living out their days at the military old age residence of Les Invalides than seeing the sights. But when one young French soldier begins to steal her heart, she resists telling her family. Will they think it's only pity that draws her to the embittered, wounded man?
