The recently widowed beauty Eva Duggan, a courtesan who managed to marry her patron, the count, naively believed that the elite would forget about her past. However, the former lady of the demimonde did not find a place in society, and Eva, humiliated and rejected, was forced to settle in the provinces, in the house inherited from her husband. It was there, in the rural wilderness, that she fell in love passionately for the first time in her life. But, alas, the object of her passion was none other than the young priest Adam Sylvain, whom everyone in the area considers a model of virtue. So does the former courtesan dare to count on Adam to respond to a feeling that is increasingly difficult for her to hide?
