Grace Marlowe, a young widow, has suffered enough in her marriage to be afraid of a new marriage like the plague.

That is why she indignantly rejects the advances of the socialite John Greyston, Viscount Rochdale, who is obsessed with the desire to seduce the unapproachable beauty.< /p>

However, the more Grace resists the Viscount’s charms, the more sophisticated means of seduction this experienced tempter uses.

Grace herself understands that she will not last long.

Sooner or later she will find herself in the power of Greyston, the only man she dreams about at night.
