Was it coincidence or creel fate that caused Prue, a lady's companion, to throw her parasol at a highwayman and save the life of Esmond, Marquess of Lydney? Intrigued by his rescuer, Esmond faces difficulties in his pursuit of Pine because of the imbalance in their social status and the constraints of her employment. But all is not what it seems. When Esmond contrives to invite Pine to Bath, their romance is soured and Prue's secrets are stirred by the dark presence of Esmond's cousin, Reedpath. Anger and mistrust separate the lovers until events move to test Esmond's honor and the enduring quality of their love.
