Lady Lolita Vernon, daughter of the late Earl Walcott, has escaped! Her stepfather wanted to force her to accept Murdoch Tanner's attentions, but as soon as they started talking about marriage with a rich, disgusting old man... This definitely wouldn't happen! Trying to cover her tracks in London, Lolita meets another fugitive - little Simon was beaten by his stepmother, and he dreams of going to his uncle, in the castle on the shores of Lake Owlswater... The little boy and his modest governess in the castle of Lord Shebrooke are a wonderful screen for the lovely fugitive. But the lord is young, ardent and persistent, and... not free? Saving him from a compromising relationship with an annoying London beauty, the Countess-maid must again flee from danger - straight into the arms of love!..
