The young widow Lady Rebecca Fisk no longer plans to get married - one unhappy marriage was enough for her. But nature demands love, and Rebecca decides to acquire a secret admirer. He must be good-looking, smart and experienced in matters of the heart. And only the incorrigible rake Jack Fulton is ideal for this role. Having succumbed to Jack’s charm, Lady Fisk does not suspect: the passionately in love Fulton intends not just to have fun - he is eager to awaken a reciprocal feeling in the lovely widow and take her as his wife.
