Melissa is the daughter of the "Mad Lord of Northumberland" and has been a virtual prisoner in a suite of rooms because her father was afraid that Melissa would get a fatal disease. She was never touched without gloves and she never stepped outside in her life. Now, at her father's death, Melissa is collected by the deceased lord's brother and moved to his home. Her father requested that his brother find a suitable match for his daughter and see her married.

The story is how Melissa learns to live in society and get ready for her Season in London. Lord Braddock, Melissa's uncle, and his son do not believe in love.

Lord Braddock is aware that Melissa needs a chaperone and engages Diane Stanhope to take care of Melissa's coming out activities.

This is an engaging story that flows smoothly and has lots of interesting characters to move the plot along.
