When Sir Gideon Trevithick returns to Cornwall after a horrific imprisonment in India he stumbles upon a beaten and frightened girl. Gideon feels an affinity for the waif's suffering and offers help. Little does he realise the girl is Lady Charis Weston, England's greatest heiress. Charis has managed to escape her brutal stepbrothers, who tried to force her to marry a wastrel, but the only way she can remain safe is with Gideon's protection. They elope to Jersey, where Charis begins to fall in love with the handsome hero who rescued her, unaware of his dark secrets. And for Gideon, overwhelming passion defeats his demons as he finds rapture in Charis's arms.
