For lovers of the Lake District, this delightful romantic tangle of drama and desire is set amid the mountains in that most beautiful part of Victorian England. There we find Florence Fisher, who feels obliged to accept Lord Head's proposal of marriage in order to save her family from ruin. However, on a visit to Cockermouth, her carriage is waylaid. It overturns, injuring her maid, Sybil, forcing them to stay in the forest for two days with their abductor, Luke Lancaster. On her eventual return home, Florence vows to forget the way Luke's confusing advances affected her. She accepts Lord Head, but at the engagement party, before the engagement is formally announced, Luke turns up, sending her emotions into turmoil. Does she go ahead with the engagement, or does her heart overrule her head?
