January 1813 -- the British Army is preparing to cross the Pyrenees and advance against Napoleon's army. Only one thing stands in the way -- money. It will take two people masquerading as lovers to carry out a dangerous plan to save the campaign -- Gabrielle Rochon, an independent and headstrong woman determined to smuggle gold to the British, and Colonel Leo Branford, an arrogant foreigner ordered to play the part of her husband so that he may escort the gold without arousing enemy suspicions.
