The death of her beloved mother leaves Charlotte Carstairs and her two siblings, Beth and Harry, homeless and penniless and with no other option available to them they realize that the only other alternative they have is to throw themselves at the mercy of their grandfather, Lord Thurston, who had not wanted to have anything to do with Charlotte’s mother and her family after she had defied him and married a man who was her social inferior.
But Charlotte is in for a shock when she arrives at her grandfather’s residence and finds the estate in ruins and receives the shocking news that her grandfather had died and that his title was inherited by her distant cousin Major Jack Griffin, a taciturn and debauched war veteran who is nursing a broken heart and licking his wounds after the Napoleonic Wars left him alone and disfigured.

But as the two begin making plans to marry, someone is determined to spoil their happiness and will stop at nothing until he succeeds.
