Georgianne Whitley’s beloved father and brothers
died in the war against Napoleon Bonaparte. While she is grieving for them, she
must deal with her unpredictable mother’s sorrow, and her younger sisters’
situation caused by it.
Georgianne’s problems increase when the
arrogant, wealthy but elderly Earl of Pennington, proposes marriage to her for
the sole purpose of being provided with an heir. At first she is tempted by his
proposal, but something is not quite right about him. She rejects him not
suspecting it will lead to unwelcome repercussions.
Once, Georgianne had wanted to marry an army
officer. Now, she decides never to marry ‘a military man’ for fear he will be
killed on the battlefield. However, Georgianne still dreams of a happy marriage
before unexpected violence forces her to relinquish the chance to participate
in a London Season sponsored by her aunt.
Shocked and in pain, Georgianne goes to the inn
where her cousin Sarah’s step-brother, Major Tarrant, is staying, while waiting
for the blacksmith to return to the village and shoe his horse. Recently, she
has been reacquainted with Tarrant—whom she knew when in the nursery—at the
vicarage where Sarah lives with her husband Reverend Stanton.
The war in the Iberian Peninsula is nearly at an
end so, after his older brother’s death, Tarrant, who was wounded, returns to
England where his father asks him to marry and produce an heir.
To please his father, Tarrant agrees to marry,
but due to a personal tragedy he has decided never to father a child.
When Georgianne, arrives at the inn, quixotic
Tarrant sympathises with her unhappy situation. Moreover, he is shocked by the
unforgivably brutal treatment she has suffered.
Full of admiration for her beauty and courage
Tarrant decides to help Georgianne.
