Eleanor (Nell) Goodwin dreams about falling in love with the kind of hero she writes about in her novels. Nell has admired Lord Alexander Summerson from afar for many years, but when she meets him, he does not live up to her dreams. When a strange woman and her son arrive at Summerson's house, claiming to be his late brother's wife and child, he seeks the help of Nell's guardian, Lord Robbie Medwell. While Lord Robbie and the former Spymasters investigate the claim, Summerson and Nell spend time becoming very well acquainted. But her relationship with Summerson leads her into danger and he must rescue her and clear his name of the slanderous accusations brought against him before their love can flourish.
