Amy is desperate to move from her remote homeland and explore the rest of the world around her. So when the dashingly handsome Christian, Viscount of Mansford, comes to visit her family in their manor, she thinks she has found the answer to all her problems. Amy becomes determined to convince Christian to marry her and whisk her away to London, where she can finally be free and happy.
Christian, although moved by desire the first moment he sets his gaze upon Amy's big blue eyes and soft welcoming smile, is by no means in need of a wife.
He makes a promise to himself to stay away from Amy, knowing that she is far too tempting for him to be around.
It is only when passion flares between them, against Christian's initial control, that he starts to wonder if Amy might make a good wife for him after all!
