De Engelse graaf van Greyley, Anthony Elliot, is ten einde raad. Van het ene moment op het andere is hij opgezadeld met vijf onhandelbare weeskinderen. En de enige die hem kan helpen is Anna Thraxton, gouvernante extraordinaire uit Londen. Maar Anthony kan Anna niet uitstaan. Zij is veel te onbeleefd en koppig naar zijn zin. Een vrouw, zijn toekomstige bruid, zou bescheiden, gedwee en blond moeten zijn - niet zoals die irritante, roodharige verleidster. Vanaf het moment dat ze één voet over de drempel heeft gezet, voelt Anna dat er ellende in de lucht hangt. Die leuke kinderen kan ze wel temmen. Anthony is het probleem. Hij is belachelijk arrogant, knap en veel te rijk naar haar zin. Iemand zal hem moeten leren zich behoorlijk te gedragen tegen vrouwen.
