| Christine Derrick is an impoverished widow of the "lower gentry." Invited to a house party by noble relatives, she catches the attention of Wulfric Bedwyn, the wealthy, powerful, and "slightly dangerous" Duke of Bewcastle. The Duke is captivated by her sunny personality, but feels any match between the two is impossible due to her signifcantly lower social standing. Despite his misgivings, he proposes, but when she refuses his rather insulting proposal, he learns that it will take more than money and power to win Christine's hand. | ||
