Althea Ingram longed for a gentleman she could look up to, but she found none among the London dandies who found her dowry more to their taste than her regally tall and lovely person. It was only when she fled to Europe that she found what was so sorely missing in her life. John Maitland, the Earl of Montmorcy, with his towering physique and dazzling good looks, was all she dreamed of in a man. Unfortunately, Althea is more than the Earl wants in a wife, and her delicate, beautiful companion, Cecily de Lisle, far better fits his idea about the weaker sex than the fiercely independent Althea. Althea must take care not to fall in love with the Earl, though he presses her over the precipice of dangerous desire.
