A country girl, free and unsophisticated. A fashionable earl, suave and worldly-wise. Can such extreme opposites really attract? Arabella Mason has grown up in isolation at Linwood Manor, restricted by her uncle's rigid ideas of what a young girl needs or wants. But when he brings a young, fashionable earl to the country estate, Arabella's life is turned upside down. Abandoned by her uncle and swept up into a world of excitement and passion, she lacks only one thing. The heart of the man with whom she has fallen in love. Lord Edmund Moreland, the Earl of Cumberwell, is urbane and handsome, and has a penchant for helping women discover pleasure. He is also an astute man of business, and when he wins Linwood Manor from Biddulph Rogers in a game of cards, he immediately begins to make changes. He is not, however, prepared for the unexpected presence of a young woman, Rogers' niece, who is left without recourse when the only home she knows is suddenly the property of a stranger. Arabella must plan for a future in a world of which she knows nothing. Edmund's conscience will not allow him to forsake a woman in trouble. Together they embark on a journey of passion. But will Arabella's naivety and Edmund's pride prevent them from discovering love?
