Catherine, Lady Bisterne, returns to Tuxedo Park cloaked in scandal, the widow of a nobleman who'd loved only her fortune. As she sets out to repair her family's reputation, another Englishman in her midst is seeking reparations of a different sort. While Lord Tristram Wolfe may suspect that Catherine has stolen the Bisterne jewels, he looks at her in a way her husband never had.
As Tristram's investigation continues, one thing becomes clear: the only thing Lady Catherine has ever stolen is his heart. But can he convince her to trust another English nobleman…and take a second chance on love?
