Determined to enjoy her freedom after the unexpected death of her husband, Lady Alicia returns to society after her year of mourning. One of her desires is to find a lover who will give her the pleasure her husband never did, but re-marriage is not in her future plans. It is therefore disappointing that the man she picks is in need of a quick marriage to a wealthy woman and intends to honour his marriage vows when he does so. Will Alicia realise before it’s too late that keeping her freedom may doom her to unhappiness?
