Elizabeth Cameron, Countess of Havenhurst, loses her standing in society after an encounter with Ian Thornton, a gambler whose origins and fortune are shrouded in rumor. When their paths cross again, their attraction is complicated by mistrust, family expectations, and the consequences of the earlier scandal. Set among English aristocratic society and in Scotland, the novel follows their efforts to understand one another amid deception and damaged reputations.
