Before Andrea's husband died, he was a professor studying the legends of King Arthur. In order to finish her husband's final work, Andrea is staying at a thirteenth-century château owned by one of her late husband's friends—a duke. As the sun sets one day, Andrea is taking photographs on the castle's grounds when a man suddenly confronts her. "This area is out of bounds!" Her handsome accuser has sharp blue eyes that put Andrea in mind of the legendary Sir Lancelot. He is Lancelot Malbois de Lac, the duke's only son.
