When George Hallingbrook unexpectedly finds himself a viscount at the age of twenty-four, he returns home to Upper Nettlefold. There he hopes to rekindle his acquaintance with Isabella Rutherford, for whom he has long harbored an attraction. Isabella doesn’t seem interested in renewing their friendship, however: she’s currently seeing the dishonourable Felton Banfield, a dashing, wealthy businessman with a habit of wasting money on gambling.
In Upper Nettlefold, George runs into another old friend, Marianne Jones. Marianne has secretly fancied him for nearly a decade, since before he left for war and distinguished himself by saving Felton’s life. They talk briefly and both admit that they’re smitten with people who seem hopelessly out of reach. Marianne suggests a pact—they agree to do whatever it takes to win the hand of the person they love. Marianne doesn’t think this through; this will put her directly at odds with George, who is as much enamoured with Isabella as she is with him.
When someone breaks into George’s home, George suspects Felton may have hired him with the intention of killing him. Fleeing to Marianne’s house, he tells her that his one hope of exposing Felton is by travelling to London to infiltrate his gambling circle.
Long-buried secrets and suppressed infatuations soon come to light—threatening to destroy George’s relationships, his reputation, and everything he holds dear—including Marianne.
