1814. Following the tragic death of his wife, Sir Benedict Silverwood knows he must marry again. He desperately needs an heir, and his young daughter Lucy needs a mother even more so. However, the naïve young debutantes his sister introduces him to during the Season remind him far too much of his deceased wife Vanessa, and he simply cannot bring himself to offer for any of them.

His mother introduces him to Kate Moreton, the granddaughter of a friend, and an impoverished spinster and Italian teacher. Surprisingly, it is not such an unpromising idea as it first seems, and Ben soon finds himself strongly attracted to Kate. Although he does not remember, they have met before, and Kate has been hopelessly in love with him ever since. The idea of marrying Benedict when he cares little for her is devastating for Kate, yet, very, very tempting...
