Lady Rosamunde Baird fell from grace with her youthful pursuit of a young man. Her father, who had always loved her ability to grasp her heart's desire, rejected her for her lapse of judgment. Rosamunde refused his demands to marry the young man, instead eloping with an inappropriate man. Her unfortunate choice was a husband who tried to kill her spirit and almost succeeded before his death. Left in poverty with no options, Rosamunde receives a reprieve with an invitation to join the Dowager Duchess of Helston's Widows Club. At the duchess' home, Rosamunde meets her dark and dangerous grandson, the Duke of Helton. Once again, Rosamunde finds herself tempted with adventure and danger, the very combination that caused her downfall.

Luc St. Aubyn, the Duke of Helston, rejects his beloved grandmother's wish that he marry and produce an heir. Using his famous sarcastic wit, he spars with her and others, keeping them unaware of his financial troubles. His attempts to make his grandmother happy with her project of fallen doves has caused an added financial burden to an estate that teeters on bankruptcy due to past generations' excesses. Eventually, he will need to marry an heiress. However, one of his grandmother's fallen doves comes to his attention. The delectable and tart-tongued Lady Rosamunde makes his blood boil.

Rosamunde and Luc bicker and spar, neither willing to give an inch. As they fall in love, they know there's no happy ending in store for them. Luc needs money and an heir; Rosamunde is broke and barren. Once again, Rosamunde faces rejection and heartache.
