Adelaide Wardová musí pomoci své rodině ze zoufalé finanční situace. Zachránit by ji mohl postarší, ale bohatý baron Robert Maxwell, který se o ni uchází. Do jejích plánů však vstoupí pohledný nemanželský syn britského šlechtice a zároveň nevlastní bratr jejího nápadníka Connor Brice. Ten se po letech vrací do Anglie z Ameriky, aby se pomstil muži, který ho připravil o normální dětství i o peníze. Má teď dostatek odhodlání i prostředků, aby ho donutil zaplatit za jeho zločinné jednání. Connor poprvé uviděl krásnou Adelaide ve vězení, kde skončil na základně falešného obvinění sira Roberta, když tam přišla navštívit svého odsouzeného zadluženého bratra. Později – už jako svobodný muž – zjišťuje, že se baron Maxwell chce s Adelaide oženit, a napadne ho, že by se dívka mohla stát součástí jeho pomsty zločinnému bratrovi. Přitom však stále víc podléhá jejímu kouzlu. Adelaide se do Connora zamiluje, ale nemůže uvěřit, že jeho city k ní jsou upřímné a že pro něj není jenom zbraní, která má zasáhnout sira Roberta na nejcitlivějším místě. Její vztah ke Connorovi je proto poznamenaný nedůvěrou, která oba zamilované dlouho rozděluje.
