Lady Grace Carpenterovou na cestě z návštěvy starší příbuzné zastihla tak prudká bouřka, že se raději na noc uchýlila do hostince. Doma na ni čekají mladší sourozenci, které po smrti rodičů vychovává. Hodně sourozenců. Slíbila matce, že nedopustí, aby děti byly rozděleny mezi příbuzné, a už se smířila s tím, že se kvůli nim asi nikdy nevdá. Pak se najednou v hostinci objeví Matt, hrabě z Worthingtonu, do kterého je tak trochu zamilovaná už od svého vstupu do společnosti. Vůbec ji po letech nepozná a Grace se rozhodne, že pokud má zůstat do smrti sama, nebude alespoň stará panna. Matt se už téměř vzdal naděje na nalezení manželky, která by mu vyhovovala nejen fyzicky, ale i intelektem. Po večeru s neznámou, stráveném zajímavým rozhovorem, po němž následovala vášnivá noc, naprosto ztratí hlavu. Když navíc mladá žena do rána beze stopy zmizí, rozhodne se, že ji za každou cenu najde a ožení se s ní. To ještě netuší, jaké překážky na něj čekají.
