Greer Fairchild flees London for Wales in search of a lost inheritance. Left penniless by the death of her guardian, Greer has no family or fortune to attract a suitor. She arrives at her uncle's estate only to find he has died. With few options, Greer continues her journey with a young man, Mr. Percy, who comes to her aid. He gives her hope that a distant relative might have her inheritance. It is the first of many poor choices that Greer makes.

Rhodrick Glendower, the Earl of Radnor, who carries the Welsh title, Prince of Powys, prefers living in seclusion since the death of his beloved wife. His life is quiet and lonely, until his conniving cousin, Percy, turns up. He has a witty, beautiful woman in tow with a preposterous tale of a lost legacy. Rhodrick can't make up his mind if Greer is a scheming swindler or simply a naive young woman. Refusing to give the small inheritance away until he has proof, Rhodrick demands Greer stay while he awaits confirmation of her identity from London.

In the company of Rhodrick, Greer begins to feel she's made a grievous mistake in trusting Percy. Rhodrick's actions can be ruthless, but a hidden vulnerability draws Greer to him. Until they resolve their mutual distrust, there can be no relationship between them.
