The Marquess of Ashart has been raised to be enemy to his
cousin, the Marquess of Rothgar because the Dowager Lady
Ashart believes the Mallorens were responsible for the
untimely death of her youngest daughter, Rothgar's mother.
However, at Christmas 1763, events conspire to bring Ash
into his enemy's lair -- in other words, to join a
Christmas house party at Rothgar Abbey. Some of the events
concern an unwanted baby and a beautiful adventuress
called Genova Smith. She can't be as innocent as she
claims to be, especially as passion flames whenever they
touch.
