Major Benjamin Tallmadge has never been very good with ladies. His skills in that direction don't exactly improve, when his men find a suspicious looking female in the woods, and he has to search her and question her to make sure she's not an enemy spy. She doesn't make it any easier for him, and neither does that fact that he's beginning to feel attracted to her. Ben/OC
