But her quiet life in Bath becomes considerably more exciting with the arrival of the dashing Captain Philip Caldwell, who brings with him his elderly aunt--her grandmother's nemesis--and an aura of intrigue...

When Rosalind proposes a scheme to reunite the two ladies, Philip soon finds his head--and heart--preoccupied with a proposal of quite a different nature...
