Lillian Bowman, an outspoken American heiress, repeatedly clashes with Marcus, Lord Westcliff, during a country-house gathering. Their attraction develops through argument and resistance, while a predatory scheme against Lillian exposes the limits of protection offered by wealth and social position.
The romance reflects the nineteenth-century exchange between American fortunes and British titles. Country-house ritual, inheritance and the expectations imposed on wealthy daughters provide the social framework, while the Wallflowers’ friendship supplies practical solidarity.
