Summary
England - May, 1944
“Your husband doesn't write you.”
Nesta didn't look up from where she was primly folding one of his men's uniforms.
“Well, Captain, he is fighting a war.”
Cassian frowned, knowing full well the men in his Company wrote every chance they could, anxious to hear from their wives, to be reminded what it was all for. Her words were an excuse. A deflection from a lovelessness that cracked his heart in two.
“I don't suppose you would let me?” He asked.
"Let you what?"
“Write you, sweetheart.”
--
While training for the Allies' invasion Europe, Captain Cassian Garcia of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment meets the mysterious Nesta Mandray and finds a light in the darkness. Beautiful, if not burdened by some deep sadness, he finds he cannot stay away, even with the ring around her finger.
When Nesta Mandray meets the bold, yet inexplicably handsome American Officer lodging next door, her dream of escape from a loveless marriage becomes increasingly hard to ignore. But a life scarred makes for a woman cautious, and it will take more than brief conversations over clean linens to convince her to take a leap of faith.

Summary
Five years ago, Nesta was exiled by her sister to Illyria. Four years ago, she disappeared. Three years ago, she stopped sending letters. And now she's turned up in a small country across the sea, with three small children in tow. But Nesta's not looking for the Inner Circle anymore, and she's not happy to find them on her doorstep.
But Cassian's lost her too many times to do so again, and this time, he has more at stake than ever before, if those three Illyrian-winged children have got anything to do with it. -

Summary
Now, in that study at the river estate, Cassian looked down at the female who would be staying with him for the near future. At the eyes that had drained of fire at the sound of her sisters words and were now nothing but hollow, unseeing.
“You’re coming with me to the Illyrian Mountains,” he told her.
Those steel blue eyes bore into his, unblinking. He waited for the retort, for the snide remark that would send him reeling but it didn’t come.
Somehow, that was worse. It meant that the situation was far graver than any of them had realised.

Summary
“Stop it! Just stop it. None of you know what you’re talking about.”
“Your defense of your sister is admirable, but we’re only speaking truths.”
“But that’s just it. You don’t know the full truth. None of you do.”
“What are you talking about?” Feyre asked, and Nesta filled with horror. Elain wouldn't . She couldn't. She swore never to tell-
“Don’t you dare,” Nesta hissed, and she offered Elain one final glare, filled with an equal amount of pleading. She couldn’t fathom the thought of Feyre knowing her secret, she couldn’t bear the thought of them knowing. Not the full extent of what had happened, what had changed her well before the Cauldron-
“Father sold Nesta when she was 16.”
When Nesta's deepest secret is revealed at yet another tense dinner, she was sent into a spiral, desperate to escape before Feyre demanded answers. But it isn't her sister who comes to find her in the aftermath, it's someone else. Someone who might have more in common with her than she ever thought.
TW: Child abuse, suicidal thoughts/ideation, forced prostitution, sexual assault (underage!!)
