Viola Amanda Lindsey, orphaned at the age of fourteen, is taken to live with her aunt and uncle, the uncle (married to her father's sister) having been appointed guardian in her father's will. Over the course of her stay with these relatives, she is treated as an unpaid servant by her uncle, who ultimately exposes her to possible ruin and worse, as she approaches her majority.Fate, in the form of a knight errant, one Andrew McMillan, Earl of Covington, discovers Viola's plight in a chance stopover at the Inn in which she is unknowingly facing tragedy. Thinking her a child, knowing she is unaware of the danger she faces, he does the only thing a decent gentleman can.Though hard-won and against tremendous odds, on rare occasions justice wins out. But, can someone who feels unworthy of love, be "rescued" by someone not even looking for it, and discover love with an uncontrollable passion?
