Claire Montague, a modest housekeeper, writes novels at night about the exploits of the brave young general Tom Purdy, which are read throughout America. But even in her wildest dreams she never imagined that one day she would meet her hero. And the famous Tom Parington himself is extremely outraged that someone made him the hero of adventure novels. He does not suspect that this is Claire, but he is sure that behind the girl’s deliberately stern appearance there are many secrets hidden that he has set himself the goal of unraveling.
