The Rogues Redeemed series by Mary Jo Putney follows soldiers returning from the Napoleonic Wars. These men were rogues and adventurers who survived the conflict, and now they must find their place in peacetime England.
Each book pairs a war-haunted hero with a heroine strong enough to help him heal. The series begins with Once a Soldier (2016) and continues through Once a Laird (2021), with each book featuring characters connected through their wartime service.
This series represents Putney’s mature style: emotionally complex, historically grounded, and focused on the psychological journey of redemption through love.
