Ian Sinclair, younger son of an earl and not entirely healed of battle wounds, finds himself named guardian of his Colonel's daughter, Anne. Out of duty, he decides to give her a season with all the opportunity for a good marriage that it implies.
Anne, although uncertain of the sudden change in her fortunes, consents. All plans, however, are interrupted by the first of several attacks; this one by highwaymen on Ian's disabled carriage. In spite of his unhealed war injuries, Ian fights to protect Anne, but it's her display of courage that rescues them both.
As Ian recovers, his older brother doesn't want him to continue dealing with Anne. She is her father's daughter, which will bring scandal, but also because of the danger the duty has already presented to Ian's health. Ian is already won over by Anne's courage and compelled by his attraction to her to keep her as his ward. He believes his poor health eliminates him as a suitor but stoically determines that she will have her season and the chance at happiness it offers.
