At twenty-one, Priscilla Pleasance does not know exactly what she wants from life. On the other hand, she knows what she does not want; the marriage her jealous sister-in-law has arranged for her with fifty-two year old, gout-ridden Sir Harry Greenwood. With her nuptials closing in, Priscilla flees her home, seeking temporary shelter as a governess. While traveling to this position, a chance encounter with a devastatingly handsome man in need of rescue leads her into a night of awakening passion and a ruined reputation. But with her new-found freedom, the feisty Priscilla is not willing to hand control of her future over to anyone, not even the chance-met Viscount who has introduced her to an intoxicating world of sensuality such as she has never even imagined.
