Lady Henrietta Lockton is an heiress on a mission. Despite her non supportive father, and after losing her mother, she has only one goal; to help the less fortunate with their education. When the idea of a community library springs to her mind, she knows she needs some help with this vision. Little did she know that hiring Mr. John Greenly would make her realise it's not only books that she wants to devote her life to. Inevitably, their clandestine romance timidly begins, but with John's working-class background, it is doomed to be kept a secret. Alas, it proves to also be short-lived, as Lord Lockton discovers his daughter's enchantment and forbids her to ever see John again. Will Hetty sacrifice all her wealth for her love for John? Or will Lord Lockton's discovery of this frowned upon affection put an end to Henrietta's hopes and dreams?
John Greenly, disappointed by his job at the British Museum, decides to answer an advert for a librarian. What he never expected was that his new employer would be a beautiful young Lady who shares his passion for all to have access to education. As his feelings for her grow, he is well aware of how his class status poses as an impediment. In a hopeless and courageous attempt to overcome it, John takes the first step and is delighted to discover Henrietta's reciprocation. However, their social distance becomes insurmountable when their ruse is brought to daylight and John comes across a decision he must make. Will he humbly bow out and lose the only woman he has ever loved? Or will he stand up to Lord Lockton and fight, even in uncertainty, for what he feels for his beloved Hetty?
In a contrasting story of privilege and struggle, two quite different people discover that class status cannot come between them and their blossoming feelings. With a passion for the same goals, Lady Lockton and John Greenly fight together against an unfair system and find warmth and strength in each other's ideals. Will that strength prove to be enough when their love is put to the test of social expectations? Or will societal norms turn their flourishing emotions into ashes?
