Disguising herself as a boy, she finds a position taking care of an unhappy young child, cousin and heir to Sir Nicholas Laidley. This attractive gentleman's enjoyment of "Adrian's" company is surpassed only by his disdain for women, especially the beauty who broke his heart as a young man.

And how can she keep from falling in love with him?
